Summer of Play - Wild Wednesdays

Join us this Summer for fun and adventures in nature with Wild Wednesdays.

  • Booking essential
  • Admission applies

Grab a net, discover fascinating pond creatures, and uncover the hidden world beneath the water. A fun, hands-on nature activity for children and their grown-ups.

Join us on selected Wednesdays throughout the Summer and splash into nature. Due to the recent heatwaves - the pond water levels will be assessed regularly. If the water levels are too low, the activity will be swapped to bug hunting at the forest school. This decision will be made 24 hours before. Please be prepared for either pond dipping or bug hunting. The meeting point will remain the same, but this activity will be at the forest school which does include an incline walk to get to the school.

Booking is essential for these activities. Please click on the 'Check Availability' button to book your place.

Activities cost £2 per child. No booking required for accompanying adults.

Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Not suitable for under 5's.
