- Booking not needed
- Free event
Join the hunt for the spiders at Felbrigg Estate this half term. There are 8 spider information stations lurking among the woodland – uncover a letter at each to spell out a word and collect a cookie prize*.
Notice signs of the season as you walk through the Victory V avenue of beech trees, surrounded by autumnal colour. Find the den building area or venture further to discover an ice house built to look like a ruin ....
Trail sheets are £3 each and can be bought from the welcome team between 10am-3.30pm every day throughout half-term.
Over at the hall you'll find a glut of giant pumpkins from the garden decorating its grand front door. Open between 12-4pm, inside you’ll find activities inspired by a taxidermy bird project including birdwatching, miniature nest building and origami crafting. Don’t forget to head to the Walled Garden to spot all sorts of intriguing pumpkin specimens and metalwork creatures.
