Notes & Requirements

Please book a ticket for each child and accompanying adult attending. All children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Our free events have waiting lists. If you are unable or choose not to attend, please cancel your ticket so someone else can enjoy this activity.

A healthy snack and drink will be provided but feel free to bring your own too.

Important safety information: This is an outdoor event (which will go ahead regardless of the weather) and walking conditions may be slightly muddy, and the weather unpredictable, so please make sure you and your child wear suitable clothing and footwear. The event is in a nature reserve, which means that there are the occasional stinging nettles and brambles, we advise that you and your child wear long trousers or leggings to minimise stings and scratches. There is also a higher risk of insect stings such as wasp or mosquito, if your child is allergic to stings, please ensure that you have their medication. You are required to stay with your child throughout the event and are responsible for your child's behaviour and safety. Please take care not to disturb or damage any of the habitats, plants or animals living at the nature reserve and never touch or feed the foxes or ducks.
