Family Event 'Bone-anza' - Woolley Firs, Maidenhead, Monday 27 October

What better time of year to learn more about one of the most iconic symbols of Halloween – the skeleton! Join us at Woolley Firs this October half term to discover how bones help animals survive and how they’ve evolved to meet the needs of every vertebrate alive today. Find out what makes bones so strong in our guided workshop, explore the woodland to learn how invertebrates manage without them and examine a wide variety of specimens—from the tiny bones of a bat to the towering skeleton of a deer.

Whether you want to strike a pose in your favourite skull at our selfie station, get stuck into our sensory and craft activities or explore the science behind it all, there’s something for everyone at this fun-packed event.
