A little bit of Wild Things, popping up near you.
Our pop-ups create playful spaces for children and families to make, imagine, explore and get stuck in.
You might find us at festivals, community events, family days and unexpected corners of Gloucestershire and Worcestershire — usually armed with an assortment of curious materials, creative invitations and ideas designed to get things started.
Our pop-ups are predominantly crafty and makey, with some play around the edges if we can fit it in the car.
Recent examples include:
- Acrobatic Peanuts,
- Mazes inside Pizza boxes,
- Bee First Aid kits and bug hotels
It only ever costs a few pounds to sit at our table. We love to theme a pop-up to the event or make it seasonal, and we rarely do the same activity twice.
Our activities are designed to leave room for imagination. Children might build, invent, draw, construct, tell stories, experiment, collaborate — or take an idea somewhere we hadn't anticipated at all.
We make particular space for older primary-aged children, who can sometimes find themselves caught between activities designed for little ones and increasingly structured opportunities for older children.
And while our spaces are created with children in mind, grown-ups are very welcome to get involved too.

The Wild Space
Want us to pop up at your event?
We'll happily create Wild Things experiences for festivals, venues, community events and organisations. We can fit into a small corner, or fill a hall and we can build activities to fit a theme or for a particular audience ... and what's more, we love it! Coming up with the ideas is our favourite bit!
“The Wild Things Pop-Ups exist to create spaces of community and creativity. A space for children (and grown ups) to get lost in play and discovery. The Wild Things exists to bring people together- connection, chats and moments of silliness. As a Wild Thing, I’m passionate about building opportunities for children and families to slow down; share creative moments and ideas; and embrace whimsy.”
