Mother and daughter building a den in the woods — Build a den

Get to know a tree, build a den, or make friends with a bug. Take part in 50 things to do before you're 11¾ on your next visit to Felbrigg.

Take your family on a nature adventure on the Felbrigg estate. We've got tracker packs to borrow daily which contain all the things you need to inspire you, as well as special events throughout the year to get everyone involved.

No. 22 Find some funky fungi

Join us as we explore the fabulous world of fungi with a guided walk aimed at families with children. Mushrooms come in a multitude of shapes, sizes and colours and there is a fantastic display in the woods at Felbrigg at this time of the year. Includes a fungus craft activity.

No. 40 Go on a nature walk at night

Join us for an owl prowl, where we'll dissect an owl pellet to see what owls eat and learn to call like an owl. We’ll then venture out as dusk falls to listen for Tawny Owls, which are particularly active at this time of year. Should be a hoot!
