A summary
Come and discover what creatures call the Wolseley Centre home. Together using different methods and equipment we will explore the site to find out who lurks beneath the depths of the pond and who is hiding under the log piles! We will start off by minibeast hunting, using sweep nets to look for grasshoppers in the long grass and shaker sheets to look for bugs in the trees. We will then head to the pond dipping platform to use our nets to see what creatures live below the water. These two hour long activities give you and your children the chance to explore the great outdoors, with our Wildchild Team at hand to help you along the way.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
