Spring Little Explorers

Join us every Thursday in May and June for a story and nature walk around the park.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event

Little Explorers story and nature walks are especially for under 5’s and their grown-ups

These fun interactive walks are led by a member of the National Trust’s welcome team and supported by a cast of toy characters. The walks last about an hour and start and finish outside the Boathouse café.

It’s a great way to meet other families and get outdoors together whatever the weather! Older siblings are welcome. The paths are pushchair friendly.

10am and 2pm session running every Thursday across May and June (excluding half-term Thursday 30 May).

The sessions are free to attend, with a suggested donation of £3 for those who can afford it.
