Welcome to Snapdragons !

Nestled in the former bowling pavilion at Victoria Park, Plymouth, lies Snapdragons, a Community Interest Company with a mission to bring communities together through nature. 

Our calendar is bursting with groups and events that cater to both adults and children, including Woodcraft Folk, Plymouth Red Tent, Plymouth Green Man Circle, volunteer sessions, seasonal fayres and much more to come in future.

Keeping the Snapdragons vision in mind at all times, our children’s groups have a focus on nature. These groups include Waldorf-inspired sessions, activities for local, home-educated children as well as schoolchildren, forest school groups and more. 

Our Adults groups also have a focus on being in nature, as well as providing a safe and welcoming environment to foster connection, explore wellness, skill-share and much more.  Time to connect with others in beautiful surroundings and perhaps while sipping a cup of hot tea.
