About this Event

A morning full of fun in our wonderful woodland setting this Easter school holiday! Enjoy swinging in the hammock, be creative with our easter craft, dig in the mud kitchen, look for minibeasts, and so much more! We will finish the session around the cosy campfire (weather permitting - we will send an email of food suggestions for toasting after booking). 


Please note this event will not include a chocolate egg. For Easter trails, check our website.


FAQs


📍Where do we meet?


This event takes place near the Cottage Car Park for Thameside Nature Discovery Park. This is at the entrance of the site before you go through the gate.


🥾What should we wear?


Most of our events are held outdoors, so please 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. 


🔥What should we bring? Is food provided?


Weather permitting, we will have a campfire at the end of the session.  You are welcome to bring something to toast. Ideas include: crumpets, little malt loaves, toasting tea cakes, sweet waffles, brioche, fruit, e.g,. pineapple/mango. Anything you can warm through on a stick, really – we provide toasting forks.  No uncooked meat or nuts, please. Marshmallows and popcorn are not recommended for children under the age of 5.

We are located in Thurrock, between East Tilbury and Stanford-le-Hope
