Camp outdoors

Big Camp in summer at Winkworth is wonderful for making magical family memories. Pitch a tent, watch the sunset, do some star gazing, cook on a campfire, search for bugs and go on a bat walk. That’s at least six fab activities in one great adventure. Boom! Dates for 2020 will be released soon.

Build a den

Everyone needs a hidewaway, and at Winkworth you’ll find nature’s materials on hand to build an amazing den. Use sticks, branches, leaves and your imagination to create your own woodland hideaway. Take your friends on a nature adventure and challenge them to see who can build the best den. It’s bound to be you.

Make friends with a bug

Have you ever looked really, really closely at a creepy crawlie? Find a beast and then hold it gently in your hands. Have a good look and don't forget to put it back in its home when you've finished.

Go welly wandering

Woods and wellies go together like icecream and jelly. Who doesn’t love to good puddle to jump in? At Winkworth, rain needn’t put the dampener on adventure. Pull on your waterproofs and see where your wellies take you.
