February half-term: Nature's Kitchen Trail
From Saturday 14 to Sunday 22 February, take part in our Nature’s Kitchen trail, inspired by Croome’s Plate Up exhibition in the house.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
This sensory trail will take you through the park, encouraging curious minds to explore the sights, sounds, and smells of the natural world. Little chefs can discover textures, create imaginary recipes, and find out what Croome’s wildlife might have on their dinner plate.
After completing the trail, head to the house to see the exhibition in the saloon. Created by artist Sarah Taylor Silverwood and young people from Pershore Riverside Youth Centre, Plate Up showcases vibrant ceramic plates and a community cookbook co‑created by the artist and young people, inspired by shared processes of cooking, drawing, clay and print.
The trail is free to take part in and activity sheets can be picked up from the Outdoor Hub, near Visitor Reception (normal admission applies).
