The Secret Lives Of Woodland Animals: Family Summer Trail

Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of the Summer Woodland Trail

Discover the fascinating lives of our woodland creatures with interactive workshops over the weekends. Have you ever wondered what our animal residents are up to when you’re not looking?

  • During the summer storm, Harold the Hedgehog’s home was knocked down! Now, it’s time to lend a hand and help build him a brand-new house made of stone. Join us this summer and become part of the fun!
  • Embark on a magical journey through the lush woodlands and meet Lizzy, the busy masonry bee, as she gathers her friends to support Harold’s new home. Watch as teamwork, kindness, and a little buzz of determination prove that even the smallest creatures can make a big difference.
  • Get involved in building Harold’s house; help the mice thatch the roofs, assist the badgers in constructing the framework, and even try your hand at mixing the mortar! There’s plenty to do, and we need everyone to pitch in to bring his new home to life.
  • This is a wonderful chance to explore the woodland, learn about our forest friends, and enjoy a fun-filled day of discovery.
