Wild Wednesday – All things Spring!

Morning session – 11am until 12pm Afternoon session – 2pm until 3pm to Morning session – 11am until 12pm Afternoon session – 2pm until 3pm


The race towards spring is on! Find out which birds to listen for, which plants get a head start and who in nature is doing what as Spring starts to arrive.

Wild Wednesdays are an hour of hands-on activities for families to experience local wildlife.

Using the range of habitats at our site, each day has a different theme to introduce the creatures large and small who live alongside us all the time.

We focus on the joy that experiencing nature brings, with a little bit of learning along the way.

We hope you will come away with the curiosity to go exploring in your own local area and find out more! Book in advance or pay on arrival at Reception.

We will be outside when the weather allows, so please bring wellies and coats.

Sessions go ahead whatever the weather, but some activities may be adapted or moved indoors according to conditions.

Please come dressed for the weather. Minimum one adult to every 3 children.
