Babes in the Wood is an outdoor forest school session, where your little ones can enjoying nature in the Museum’s beautiful grounds, whatever the weather!

Join us for an hour and a half outdoor play and exploring, with a different theme every time.

Sessions can include any mix of exploring, cooking and singing around the campfire, playing, mixing mud, seasonal natural crafts and activities, swinging, building, and much more.

Babes in the Wood is for toddlers (around 18mth+) up to 5 yrs. Children should wear suitable outdoor clothing for the weather. Advance booking is essential – we’ll ask you for some medical and dietary needs details at point of booking to make sure everything runs safely in your session.
