About the event

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! 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.

All our activities take place outdoors therefore please dress for the weather.

Meet us in front of the Learning Hub which is located at the bottom hill in front of the car park. From there we will begin minibeast hunting before moving to the lakes to pond dip.
