Willows & Words At Ferne

Tucked away in our scenic Willow Walk, the Blakeborough Storytelling Gazebo - a perfect spot for tales, imagination, and connection.

We’re delighted to continue this brand-new event at Ferne with a visit from acclaimed children’s author Claire Barker on Thursday 21st August at 12pm, introducing her enchanting new story, Hettie Nettle - a must-read for imaginative young guardians of nature.

This special event will include:

Two storytelling sessions, each lasting approx 45 minutes

A fun and friendly Q&A with Claire

An opportunity to purchase a signed copy of Hettie Nettle

Tickets: £10 per child (ages 6–10) - includes entry to the sanctuary.

Surrounded by wildlife and inspired by the Five Animal Freedoms, this is a unique chance for children to connect with stories, animals, and the natural world.

Spaces are limited - don’t miss out on this enchanting afternoon at Ferne!
