Nature Journalling & Zines With Zabby Allen

Join us at for a fun-filled morning of nature journalling & zine-making with talented illustrator/nature doodler Zabby Allen! We'll meet at The Old Boat Cafe before heading off to explore a nature trail through Maidstone River Park.

Together we'll learn to see the the heart of Maidstone differently; learning about plants, trees, birds and more. The nature walk will see us meander along the river, while Zabby shares some fun facts and nature connection prompts. You'll have the option to capture notes, doodles and sketches as we go, or just enjoy the journey!

After our nature walk we'll settle at Drake's Pub, where we'll journal, chat, sketch, and create fun nature zines together!
