Learning at Sheringham Park
Sheringham Park is a great place for outdoor learning. As a Children and Young People Hub, we offer a wide range of guided learning activities from early years upwards.
Acorns: Outdoor fun for pre-schoolers
Acorns is our bi-monthly club for pre-schoolers and their grown-ups, held in the great outdoors featuring fun, seasonal activities.
Come and get closer to nature and enjoy creative and curious activities, led by National Trust staff and volunteers.
Each session is outdoors, costs £5 per child (including a free refreshment break) and is recommended for 2- to 4-year-olds. There's no need to book, just come along to the Visitor Barn at Sheringham Park on selected Wednesdays, ready to enjoy an adventure!
School and group visits to Sheringham Park
Bring your class or year group for a fun day spent getting closer to nature. Choose from a wide range of exciting, hands-on activities tailored to your group.
All our sessions are linked to the National Curriculum and tailored to your individual needs.
All activities are fully risk-assessed and led by well-qualified and experienced staff and volunteers with DBS clearance. Here are just some of the activities available:
