February half-term at Hestercombe

We've got lots going on to keep boredom at bay this February half-term with something for all ages. What better way to keep little ones entertained than getting out in the great outdoors and enjoying our pop-up Forest School activities?

This February half-term branch out at Hestercombe and become little green explorers by creating your very own Nature Crown! Have a bit of forestry fun by sticking your fabulous forest finds to your very own seasonal Crown.

Why don't you explore the world on your doorstep with our wonderful woodland crafts. Try creating your own stick family or release your inner artist and create your own artwork with natural paintbrushes and pigments!

Crowns can be collected at the Ticket Office on arrival and all crafts will take place on Tuesday and Thursday in the natural play area by the Charcoal Burner's Camp.
