A little monkey has hidden pictures of his zoo friends around Denby Pottery Village.

Tickets for the trail are £3 per child and must be purchased in conjunction with a craft session.

TIME: Choose from the available session times. Your chosen craft session lasts for 50 minutes.
Notes: All activities are self-led, but our friendly team will be on hand to offer any support. You are also welcome to paint-a-pot or enjoy another craft activity during your 50-minute experience if time allows. Additional costs apply and can be paid for on the day.
- We will be getting creative with paint, pens and clay and therefore recommend that children wear items they don't mind getting messy.
