Summer of Play
Join us for fun-filled activities all summer for little adventurers.
- Booking not needed
- Free event
If you visit during Summer of Play you can pick up your special play passport, and once you take part in summer of play activities with us you get stamps to fill it up with fun!
Once you've got all the stamps, choose a special nature crown to take away and show everyone you’re amazing at playing in nature.
Activities include colouring sheets, create your own roman shield, giant board games and nature spotting sheets to find wildlife and plants up and down the garden.
On Thursdays in August we will have facilitated sessions during the day for children to come along and get involved.
