About this Event

Time for a treasure hunt with a difference – what wonders has nature provided? Join us this Easter school holiday, where we will go on the hunt for all the senses; looking for colours, exploring textures, listening for sounds, and perhaps even giving a few things a smell! We will see what beautiful bugs, leaves, and flowers we can find on this Spring Scavenger hunt. We might even getto  making with some of the things we find.

FAQs


🌳Will the activities take place outside? 


Yes, activities will be outside. The crafts will take place in our shelter, so it is protected from rain - but still outdoors.

We are based in North Essex, local to Colchester.


🥾What should we wear? 


Please dress for being outside - lots of layers. If it has been raining, the paths will be muddy and have lots of puddles, so wellies or boots are advised.

The visitor centre has a shop and café serving hot and cold drinks, snacks, ice cream, and light lunches. 


🐕‍🦺Can we bring a dog? 


Assistance dogs are welcome at our events.
