Ilam Park: Little Explorers Club

Join us at Ilam Park’s Little Explorers Club, a FREE, friendly, flexible way for young children to explore, create, and connect with the natural world.

The Little Explorers Club is set in the Coach House in the Ilam Park Stableyard so we’re flexible to all weathers. Each month is seasonally themed and designed for tiny tots to play and connect to nature and other children, while giving parents a place to meet other parents.

10:30-11:30 Join us in to our activity session to get stuck into crafting and/or pick up a seasonal scavenger hunt sheet, go exploring or play in the Hidden Play Garden. 11:30 Join us for storytime where we’ll come together and read a selection of books.

Pre-book a kids lunchbox (sandwich, drink and 3 sweet or savoury snacks) or a coffee and cake for adults and stay and enjoy these in the Coach House or Tea Room after storytime has ended.
