About the event

Create your own wall hanging to take home. Get close to animal skulls and take part in other fun bone discovery activities.

Due to the nature of the activities (owl pellet dissection), this session is suitable for children of a minimum age of three years old, and would also be fun for young people of up to the age of about fourteen years old. Younger siblings in prams/buggies under 18 months old, would be fine accompanying too.

Please book a ticket for everyone who is attending. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Wildlife Trust BCN member and non-member tickets available. Are you a member of the Wildlife Trust BCN? You can get money off your ticket by selecting a member ticket (we may ask for your membership number upon arrival for verification purposes).

Non-members £7:50 per child plus booking fee. Members £5:00 per child plus booking fee.

Lots to do indoors and outdoors too, so wear long trousers and sensible shoes with closed toes and do bring raincoats. 

The session will run for 1 and 3/4 hours approximately.

Sorry no dogs (except assistance dogs) are allowed in the Environmental Education Area.
