50 things to do before you're 11 ¾
'50 things' is a list of the ultimate outdoor challenges to complete before you reach the milestone age of 11 and ¾ . From bug hunting to bird watching, den building to running around in the rain, there’s something for every type of explorer.
Some of our favourite activities to do at Hanbury are:
7. Fly A Kite
Let’s go fly a kite! With lots of green spaces to explore, there’s lots of room to get a good running start and help your kite take flight.
18. Make Some Wild Art
Collect twigs, leaves, feathers and whatever else you can find in the park to help you create a unique piece of wild art.
28. Climb A Huge Hill
Grab yourself a park walk leaflet from the back of Visitor Reception and head out to conquer the huge hill that leads up to nearby Hanbury Church.
31. Make friends with a bug
The outdoors is home to millions of bugs and Hanbury’s gardens offer the perfect habitat for all kinds of creepy crawlies. Who can find the creepiest crawly?
(Remember to return what you find to the wild before it’s time to leave!)
44. Watch a bird
The gardens are full of many different species of birds all year. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for the sights and sounds of our feathered friends.
