Event Description

Get ready for a colourful outdoor adventure that will awaken all your senses! Explore the Ecology Centre and discover nature through sight, smell, touch and listening as we follow a rainbow nature trail, feel nature's textures, listen for birdsong and create our own scented 'cocktails'.

We'll finish the session by making a delicious summer salad using fresh seasonal ingredients. Perfect for children aged 3+ and their families, this hands-on summer holiday activity is packed with exploration, creativity, and sensory fun in the great outdoors. 🌈🌿🍓👃
