Forest tots

It's never too early to be inspired by nature! Explore the great outdoors through fun and stimulating activities at Potteric Carr nature reserve. Our friendly and inclusive Forest Tots sessions are specially designed for children aged four and under to learn with their parent/carer.

Within the setting of a magical woodland, explore local wildlife, learn woodland crafts and enjoy time together cooking around the campfire. Each session will have a special theme, be it based on a book, season or wildlife.

Hot drinks, squash and snacks are included.

We can't wait to meet you and your adventurous little ones!

Children must always be accompanied by an adult.

What to bring/wear

Our Forest Tots session take place outside throughout the year so brace yourself for the Yorkshire weather! Please wear appropriate outdoor footwear and clothing. May - September is the main mosquito season, so insect repellent might be handy during those months. On sunny days, don't forget your sun hat and sun lotion! Please bring plenty of fluids too.

Toilets and catering

Accessible toilets and baby changing facilities are located in our visitor centre (10-15 minutes walk from the event location). Wholesome lunches and homemade cakes are available in our welcoming café, located in our visitor centre.
