Big Wild Summer Family Trail at The Lodge!

NOTE - Monday 1 August - packs will be unavailable to purchase as the shop and visitor centre will be closed due to essential works on the new cafe.

Detective Hoot and Constable Crumbs need your help to solve a mystery in our Big Wild Summer activity pack (just £3.50). Can you help them discover some of our night-time wildlife and attract some of your own when you get home? 

You can creep along like a mouse with your mouse mask, discover which creatures are hiding in the dark on your spinner and make moon cookies for a midnight feast. You'll get a certificate too for taking part in Big Wild Summer. 

There will also be a family trail leading you around some of The Lodge Reserve too, looking for minibeasts! What will you discover?

Packs can be picked up at the Gatehouse Shop (9:30am-5pm Mon-Fri & 10am-5pm Sat-Sun) or the Visitor Information Centre (10am-4pm everyday, managed by volunteers, so not always open).

Please note that the route is generally flat and relatively short, making it suitable for most buggies or wheelchairs. However, please do contact us first if you are a wheelchair user or have any mobility issues.
