Summer Family Fun at Tyland Barn: Plants and Flowers

Get creative with nature by collecting leaves and petals to 'bash', a process that transfers their colours onto calico fabric. Position your finds to make a design, or just experiment with different colours and shapes!

Complete a summer flowers trail, then plant some seeds that you can take home to grow in your garden or on a window ledge.

We'll provide all the materials needed for the activities, and you'll take home your calico creation and planted seeds. You may like to bring an apron to protect clothing or wear something easy to clean.

Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times, £10 tickets give admission for one child and one adult. These events are popular with accompanying adults too! To help with capacity, any additional adults attending will require their own ticket. Free spaces are available for babies and toddlers who are too young to take part in the activities (recommended for over 3 years, but this is at your discretion). Please make sure you book a ticket for everyone attending in your group.

Tickets are available for five sessions across the day. Please note that the timings are approximate as everyone will approach the activities at a different pace. You may find you have finished before the suggested time or that you would like to stay longer. You are welcome to be onsite any time between 10am and 4pm for exploring or picnicking. The Pond Cafe will also be open for lunches, snacks and hot drinks.
