Conker the Park is a trail designed by artist Hazel East for families to explore the beauty of autumn in Crystal Palace Park through its vibrant colours, wildlife and falling leaves.

It is among a range of free events being staged by the Crystal Palace Park Trust for families this October half-term.

To Conker the Park, all you have to do is visit the Information Centre (near the Penge Gate entrance to the park) to get a trail sheet on Thursday October 24 and Thursday October 31.

On Friday November 1, there’s an interactive Magical Storytelling session with storyteller Vanessa Woolf at the Concert Platform from 10am. This is aimed at children aged 7 and under.

Tickets are free but you’ll need to book a time slot via Eventbrite.
