In this illustrated talk, Paul Wood will discuss the history of trees in London. Until the eighteenth and nineteenth century, trees were largely consigned to private gardens and the countryside, but the growth of cities and changes to how they were developed meant trees increasingly appeared in the public domain. Today, these urban trees are those that Londoners are most acquainted with, they are the trees that provide structure and beauty to our cityscapes but they are also on the frontline of disputes with landowners, developers and planning authorities.
Paul Wood has written four books about trees and urban nature:
Tree Hunting: 1,000 Trees to Find in Britain and Ireland’s Towns and Cities (Particular Books 2025), London’s Street Trees (Safe Haven 2017, 2019, 2024), London is a Forest (Quadrille 2019, 2022) and London Tree Walks (Safe Haven 2020), he is also the editor of the Great Trees of London Map (Blue Crow Media 2021).
You can find Paul on Instagram as @thestreettree, and you can follow his weekly accounts of great British and Irish trees on Substack at thestreettree.substack.com.

Kid Carpet hates panto. The Noisy Animals absolutely love it. So guess what they’re doing? Yep. A panto. Now there’s a beanstalk in the middle of everything and nobody’s quite sure what’s going on.
Featuring Bear, Gorilla, Badger and Hedgehog (with possible appearances from Hedgehog’s golden eggs), this is Jack and the Beanstalk like it’s been thrown in a blender with a drum machine and dodgy celebrity lookalikes. Part air guitar workshop, part magical mess, this lo-fi, hi-tech, big-beat bonkers show is stuffed with songs, silliness and surprise grannies.
Bring your kids. Bring yer nan. Bring snacks. It’s theatre, but it’s loud, proud and completely off its bean(stalk).
Perfect for ages 3–10, families, party monsters and fans of noisy nonsense.

“This is an experience that isn’t just different but very special indeed.”

Chevalier – Hobbyhorse Circus is an irresistibly charming homage to the magnificent horses of circus and the silent movie era. Drawing inspiration from the history of traditional horse circuses, Kalle Lehto’s ringmaster performs acrobatics, juggling and balancing with an amazing cast of hobby horses.
As the horses take centre stage on the small manege, part of the ringmaster’s story is told in short silent movies accompanied by old time silent movie music. Kalle’s playful work with the hobby horses, natural comedic sense and the fluid movement of a breakdancer bring the magic of circus alive – completed by Sami Tammela’s genius music and traditional circus soundscapes with electronic elements.
