About the event

This is part of an annual programme of Wild in the Woods family sessions throughout the year on or near Trumpington Meadows Nature Reserve.

In this session, join Becca Badger for an adventure on Trumpington Meadows Nature Reserve. We'll enjoy a spooky walk in the dark, and end up at the orchard where we will have a bonfire and toast some marshmallows. We would love for you to bring stories or songs to share, and you are welcome to bring a musical instrument.

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

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. Trumpington Meadows Nature Reserve has flat, accessible paths suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs and we may venture onto more rustic paths in the nearby wood. Please contact us to discuss your accessibility needs.

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.
