Walk in the Park

Family walking workshops

Join bestselling children’s writer Ben Hoare on a gentle guided nature ramble. Ben will share amazing facts from his new book Shapes of Nature as we hunt for all sorts of nature’s treasures, using different senses. Young families will be able to engage with the natural world in playful, immersive and creative ways – and with luck we should find some living survivors from the age of dinosaurs hiding in the middle of Shaftesbury!

​

Aimed at primary-aged children. Each child needs to bring an adult. Please bring along an old shoe box or cereal box.

​

Free to attend, but please book a place.​

Tickets are for one child and one adult.
