Hanningfield Spring Explorers

Come over to Hanningfield this Easter school holiday to see the signs of spring and emerging colours! We will wander around the reserve searching for bugs and watching for the birds. Alongside the guided walk, you will also have the opportunity to get creative with a hands-on spring-themed craft. Suitable for ages 5+.
