Nature Impressions brings two drop-in days to Cambridge
Families can try nature-inspired clay printing at the Nature Impressions family activity in Cambridge on Thursday 20 and Friday 21 August 2026. The drop-in workshop runs from 10.30am to 1.30pm on both days in the Garden Room at the Schools’ Garden, 1 Brookside, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire CB2 1JE.
All ages are welcome, and there is no need to pre-book. Normal Garden admission applies for accompanying adults, according to the Visit Cambridge Events listing.
Leaves and petals become tools for clay designs
The school-holiday activity invites visitors to press leaves and petals into clay, capturing their outlines and textures. Participants can turn the finished pieces into decorations or take them home to paint.
Because Nature Impressions is presented as a drop-in activity rather than a scheduled class, families can arrive within the advertised three-hour session on either date. The listing does not state how long the craft takes, so visitors do not need to plan around a specified start time beyond arriving before the session ends.
The all-ages format may be useful for families bringing children of different ages, while the simple combination of natural materials and clay keeps the focus on making an individual design. The source does not identify the plants, clay type or other materials that will be available, meaning the precise choice of impressions will depend on what is provided at the workshop.
Where to find the two Cambridge sessions
Both sessions take place in the Garden Room within the Schools’ Garden. The confirmed schedule is 10.30am to 1.30pm on 20 August and the same hours on 21 August.
Visitors should use the venue details in the listing rather than looking for a separate workshop address: Schools’ Garden, Garden Room, 1 Brookside, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire CB2 1JE.

Admission, booking and accessibility
No advance reservation is required, but the drop-in wording should not be read as confirmation that all admission is free. Visit Cambridge Events states that normal Garden admission applies for accompanying adults; it does not specify a separate workshop charge or provide child-admission details.
The venue facilities are listed as including mostly flat terrain, wheelchair access, wheelchair accessibility and a restaurant with wheelchair access. No transport information is supplied.
Anyone planning to attend can choose either advertised date, arrive during the confirmed session hours and head to the Garden Room. Visitors who need costs beyond the stated adult admission arrangement, detailed access information or travel guidance should check the Visit Cambridge Events listing before setting out.
