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 session, join Becca Badger for an adventure on Cambourne Nature Reserve. We'll enjoy a summer evening stroll looking for wildlife, and end up at the orchard where we will have a bonfire and toast some marshmallows. They'll be a selection of activities to keep everyone happy whilst we enjoy this beautiful area of the reserve. 

This session is perfect for families with children aged 7+. It is not suitable for children under 5 for health and safety reasons.

What to bring

You are welcome to bring a story or instrument to enjoy around the fire. You may also want to bring a camping chair (we will have tarps to sit on). We will provide standard and vegetarian marshmallows. 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. This session is weather-dependent and may be cancelled at short notice. If this happens, we will let you know as soon as possible and refund your money.
