About

Join us as we explore the orchard at Abbotts Hall. Build dens, swing in a hammock, look for bugs, climb trees, make natural crafts, cook a tasty treat on the fire (weather permitting), and discover lots more!

This event is suitable for children aged 2-9. Please come dressed for the weather, as we will be outside for the whole session. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
