About the event
Go wild this Christmas with a day of outdoor festive family fun. Get creative with our natural winter crafts, cook yourself a tasty treat on the campfire, adventure around the reserve as you complete the trail, and enter our colouring competition. The elves have even bought a small gift for everyone on your return. We are hoping Billie the Badger will make a special appearance, too!
Why not make a day of it? You can do some Christmas shopping while you are here, and there will even be a special offer on for participants of a sweet treat in the tearoom.
This event is suitable for children aged 2+. Please come dressed suitably for the weather, as activities will take place outside.
