Wild Parties in
the Nature Reserve
Pond dipping, bug hunting and den building led by wildlife rangers, with an eco-friendly party tea included. A lovely pick for animal-mad or nature-curious kids.

Themed woodland parties held in the park’s own yurt, from shelter building to secret spy missions. A more adventurous option for older children.
