About the event

This is part of a series of Wild in the Meadows family sessions based at Trumpington Meadows Nature Reserve on Thursdays during school holidays and on Saturdays during the warmer months.

In this session, join Becca Badger for an adventure on Trumpington Meadows Nature Reserve. This is a chance to play together with other families using a selection of ideas and resources. We might make up a story together, hunt for bugs, create natural art, do a photo treasure hunt...

This session is perfect for families with primary-aged children but older and younger siblings will enjoy them.

Mobility

We aim to make our sessions as accessible as possible and are happy to make reasonable adjustments to ensure as many people as possible can enjoy them. Trumpington Meadows Nature Reserve has flat, accessible paths suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs. Please contact us to discuss your accessibility needs.

What to bring

To avoid bites, stings and scratches, long sleeves and long trousers are suggested for all participants. Please wear clothes you don't mind getting muddy, and sturdy shoes. The sessions will go ahead even if it rains, so you may require waterproofs. It is unlikely but if it is especially windy or lightening is forecast, it may not be advisable to run the session. If this happens, we will let you know as soon as possible and refund your money.

Parking information

Parking is available at Byron's Pool which is a 5 minute walk to the Rangers Office. This is a council-owned public car park, it is not usually full, but spaces cannot be guaranteed. Trumpington Park and Ride is a 15 minute walk.
