About

Enjoy sweep netting in the meadow, where you'll feel inspired to create your own butterfly-themed natural craft. Then top it off with a self-guided walk - how many different butterflies will you find?

Follow the signs from the Nature Discovery Centre where toilets, snacks, drinks and lunch are all available.
This event is suitable for children aged 3+. Please come appropriately dressed for the weather, as we will be outside for the whole session. Advance booking is essential and children must always be accompanied by an adult.
