FAQs


🎫 Who needs a ticket?


All children require a ticket to attend. Adults do not require a ticket.


📍Where do we meet?


Meet outside the Nature Discovery Centre, which is a short walk from the car park and main entrances. 


🥾What should we wear?


Most of our events are held outdoors, so please come dressed for the weather.  We recommend layers (top and bottom), which can get mucky. Wellies (with thick socks) and waterproofs are a good shout if you have them. 


🔥What should we bring? Is food provided?


Weather permitting, we will have a campfire at the end of the session.  We plan on toasting apples served with sugar. You are welcome to bring something to toast. Ideas include: crumpets, little malt loaves, toasting tea cakes, sweet waffles, brioche, fruit, e.g., pineapple/mango. Anything you can warm through on a stick, really – we provide toasting forks.  No uncooked meat or nuts, please. Marshmallows and popcorn are not recommended for children under the age of 5.
