12 August, 2019 – 14 August, 2019
Come along to discover more about these amazing 'winged flowers'. Find out about their interesting lives and how you can help them. Take part in monitoring these creatures, as totally wild scientists!!
Practical hands-on family fun activities, outdoors and indoors too. Designed to help you discover more about local wildlife. £5 per child
Sorry no dogs allowed in the education area. Wear long trousers, bring sunhats, suncream, insect repellent. No need to book - this is a drop-in event therefore a maximum of three families are admitted together as a party. Activities are self-guided and all children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Please take care on the approach to the Environmental Education Centre, as haulage lorries are using the road outside all day. Please ensure you keep your children close by you on the way down from the car park.
