Little Explorers

Story and nature walks especially for under 5s and their grown ups.

  • 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 our welcome team. 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.

11am, every Friday in June. It’s free to attend, with a suggested donation of £3 for those who can afford it. No booking – drop-in. If the weather is very poor the event might not run.
