About this Event

Are you ready to become a Forestmaster? This Easter school holiday, compete to win points during five forest-based challenges in our Education area to be in with a chance of becoming the Forestmaster. There will be solo challenges and one team-based challenge - so bring your A Game!  One adult can help per child booking, but only if they want your help.

FAQs


📍Where do we meet? 


Please meet outside the back door (near accessible parking and toilets)


🥾What should we wear?


This will be fully outdoors, so you need to come dressed for the weather.  We recommend layers (top and bottom), which can get mucky.  Wellies (with thick socks) and waterproofs are a good shout if you have them. Any equipment required for the activities will be provided.


🌍Where are you? 


Fingringhoe Wick Nature Discovery Centre, South Green Road, Fingringhoe, Colchester CO5 7DN. Please be aware that it is largely a single-track lane to the reserve, but there are plenty of passing spaces.


🚗Is there parking? 


Yes. We have a free car park plus accessible parking. There is also bike parking.


🚇Can we get to you on public transport? 


No, unfortunately, no public transport operates at the reserve. 


🚻What facilities are there? 


Fingringhoe Wick Nature Discovery Centre has toilets, a shop and a café serving hot and cold drinks, snacks, ice cream and light lunches.


 🐕‍🦺Can we bring a dog? 


Only assistance dogs are welcome at the reserve.


♿How accessible is the site? 


There is accessible parking next to the entrance to the Discovery Centre, and there is an all-terrain mobility scooter that can be borrowed if necessary. The reserve has gravel, woodland, and sandy paths with benches at numerous locations. There are some areas where the paths are narrow or require step access. Manoeuvrability is impaired in wetter conditions. Adders are on the reserve, and they are the UK's only venomous snake. Please stick to the paths and wear suitable footwear. Please do not touch them, they are shy creatures and will only bite if they feel they are in danger.
