About

These Easter sessions will inspire and delight children as they explore the natural world right on the Wordsworths' doorstep.

Explore our springtime trail and see if you can spot the wildlife that's hiding in our gardens and woodland. Have a go at decorating your own binoculars as you play, learn, and explore nature like William and Dorothy Wordsworth. For families with children age 3+.

To maintain social distancing, we will be booking up to 3 families per session with an additional date available for further sessions if there is demand.

How to book

To book please email education@wordsworth.org.uk. State your name, the number and age of the children you wish to bring, details of any other adults attending and contact details for track and trace. Please note that family groups must not be over 6 people. You must have received a confirmation email from us before attending the workshop as places are strictly limited.

Bring a suitable face mask/covering. Although these sessions take place outside, adults and children aged 11+ are requested to wear a mask if accessing indoor areas such as the Café takeaway or toilets.

Sessions take place at 10.00-11.30am and 2.00-3.30pm on Thursday 15 and Friday 16 April.

Tickets £7 per family. Please bring this in cash on the day.
