About the event

Wild Ed is back! These monthly sessions for 5-10year olds are a great place for youngsters to explore green spaces, learn about nature, build confidence and gain new skills, all in the enclosed outdoor setting of the Arboretum Area at Wardown Park, adjacent to the Museum car park.

Led by our experienced staff, sessions will include activities such as bug hunting, natural art, safe tool use, fire lighting all based around the changing seasons, and with clear links to the national curriculum.

Booking is essential and children must be accompanied by an adult. The sessions will take place outside so please ensure that you wear appropriate clothing and footwear, cancellation will only be made during extreme weather conditions.

We have been able to offer these sessions for £4.50 (+eventbrite fee) per child thanks to generous funding from the National Heritage Lottery Fund.

Please see our 'Wild Ed -Secondary sessions' that are also running monthly on Mondays but will be based from the Bushmead Community Hub and for older children
