Join the Education rangers to explore our park through a variety of activities. Book your summer session and then come and choose your activities with your friends on the day. You can discover what fantastical things you can make from natural materials in the park, investigate who lives in the different habitats whilst trying your hand at minibeast hunting and have a go at toasting a marshmallow over the camp fire.

This is a drop in event so you can attend and take part in the activities at any time within the allocated time frame that you book. All children must be accompanied by an adult (18+) and a ratio of 1 adult to 3 children must be maintained during our events. This is a family event, however younger children will need closer supervision due to the presence of a fire. Meet your rangers outside the Pit stop Cafe to get signed in. We will help point you in the direction of all of our activities. This event is a drop in so you do not have to stay for the full duration of the time slot.

Booking via eventbrite guarantees you a space on this event however a limited number of tickets may be made available on the day of this event.
