This May bank holiday, learn more about rivers with the River Wey Trust’s immersive augmented reality sandbox. ‘Make it rain’, dig channels through the sand to ‘create rivers’, see the contour lines change as you ‘shape hills’ and have fun with the volcano and snow modes. This is a free activity which is both fun and educational for all ages.

ROAR Outdoor will be offering a range of activities to choose from. Enjoy getting out on the river with their 40-minute kayak or paddleboard taster sessions for £5 per person, get creative with some natural crafts for £3 and toast marshmallows over a fire pit for just £2.
