About the event

This is part of an annual programme of Wild in the Woods family sessions on Wednesdays during school holidays in Cambourne.

In this extra-spooky session, join Becca Badger to do some nocturnal wildlife-themed craft indoors, followed by a night-time quest hunting for clues and following a hidden trail around Cambourne Nature Reserve. We'll use torches to find our way, and learn about local wildlife as we go.

This session is perfect for families with children aged 7-11, and older siblings will also enjoy it. We will adapt with the group, but it is not suitable for under 5s.

Additional information

This session involves being in the woods in the dark. It may not be suitable for everyone!

Mobility

We aim to make our sessions as accessible as possible and are happy to make reasonable adjustments to ensure as many people as possible can enjoy them. Cambourne Nature Reserve has flat, accessible paths, but we will be walking these in the dark. Please contact us to discuss your accessibility needs.

What to bring

To avoid bites, stings and scratches, long sleeves and long trousers are suggested for all participants. Please wear clothes you don't mind getting muddy, and sturdy shoes. Please bring a torch if you have one (we have spares if needed) as we will be walking in the dark!
