Where does my food come from? We are delighted to invite you to join us for a special afternoon exploring our urban small holding and discovering more about where our food comes from... Please note: all children need to be accompanied by a paying adult. 'What a wonderful day of learning for our Year 3 children! From trying on bees suits and balancing chickens on their heads to learning about the more serious issues of organic farming and the importance of recycling. So much to learn that the children simply didn't want to leave! The session was jam packed with learning and fun and I would highly recommend Hen Corner to any school particularly, those in urban settings. The session gave the children a taste of farm/small holding life and opened their eyes to exactly where our food comes from as well as learning what is possible to grow here in the UK.' Whilst we will be basing our time together on the sessions that we offer to local Primary Schools, Team Leader Sara Ward has over 25 years of experience working with pre-school children and their families.During our time together, we can explore where our food comes from looking at plants (fruit, vegetables and trees), bees for honey and as pollinators, and chickens for eggs. Activities for the afternoon: Welcome with home made cookies, organic cordial for the children and tea/coffee for the grown ups. Introduction to Hen Corner and where our food comes from, followed by each activity below: Meeting the chickens (everyone can have a stroke/cuddle if they like) and an opportunity to collect the eggs Watching the bee hives from a safe distance, studying live bees from behind the glass of an observation hive, exploring the life cycle of a honey bee, dressing up as a bee keeper and tasting some of our award winning honey. Exploring the Kitchen Garden and fruit trees to discover what food can be grown and harvested in London Planting herb seeds that can be taken home to germinate 'Sara, thank you (and your chickens) for making the children feel so welcome in your garden. It was such an interesting and funfilled day. The children also say a big thank you for the delicious juice and cookies. We will definitely be back again. :)' Each child needs to be accompanied by a paying adult and we ask you to be responsible for the children that you bring whilst you are here at Hen Corner. Hen Corner is our family home and we will confirm full details of address, parking, dietary requirements, etc. when we have received your booking. 'Very inspiring learning experience. Sara's welcoming was so warm and professional, the most enjoyable afternoon meeting her and her family as well as the rest of the group.'

Sara was very friendly and welcoming to her home. We were offered teas, coffees and drinks and lovely hot homemade biscuits and cakes straight out the oven! The course was very informative and has got me thinking about getting my own hens. My kids loved cuddling the hens and learning how to look after them. We got a wonderful goodie bag with some eggs included as well as the kids making egg cup holders with their own decorating on it. I am looking forward to booking the bee course soon! Thanks so much Sara for sharing all your knowledge with us!’ Each child needs to be accompanied by a paying adult and we ask you to be responsible for the children that you bring whilst you are here at Hen Corner.

Working in collaboration with migrants and those who have experienced the UK asylum system - and taking Chaucer’s great poem of journeying as a model - established writers and people who are experts-by-experience share their tales with local communities at evening events . We also enjoy live performances from renowned musicians which never fail to get us up and dancing! The tales we tell are published in five volumes by Comma Press . Some have been written collaboratively with authors such as Ali Smith, Nobel Prize winner Abdulrazak Gurnah, Kamila Shamsie, Patrick Gale, and Bernardine Evaristo. Others are first-hand accounts told directly by the people who experienced them. In sharing these stories, Refugee Tales gathers and communicates experiences of migration and the reality of immigration detention in the UK. As we walk, we create a space in which the language of welcome is the prevailing discourse . The Walk of 2025 To find out more about this year's walk please go to our Refugee Tales website .
