Wild Adventures
Daily from Saturday 30th June until Sunday 19th August
Go wild in the great outdoors in a summer-long programme of activities recreating the lives of our prehistoric ancestors. Every day, children and their families can all lend a hand in constructing a prehistoric encampment and learn skills essential for prehistoric living. There’s a shelter and fences to be build, crops to plant, and livestock to tend. And between all of this hard work there’s need to make fire, prepare food, make clothing and bedding, and even go hunting.
Spooky Happenings
Saturday 13th October – Sunday 28th October
As the days grow shorter, strange creatures begin to emerge from the the darkest and scariest corners of the old mill and farm buildings. Encounter unearthly creatures on a trail of terror, collect the clues and claim a small prize for your bravery. Join in with creepy crafts and gruesome games, and have a spine-tingling good time.
