What better way to celebrate an INSET day than by hopping out for a wild time at Wildwood with the children later on this term ?!
If you’re stuck for a way to entertain the children on Friday 17 June, join us for a visit to Wildwood animal conservation park, with its newly-refurbished play area that includes new features and is sure to keep the children entertained. The newly-revamped play area includes the new ‘Tree Top Drop’ and expanded Wild Fort with a slide, as well as the usual area for under-5′s.
(You can read a recent review of the new play-area at Wildwood here).
Bring a picnic along and we’ll meet at Wildwood at 11am, follow the trail around Wildwood, visiting the animals, ending up at the play-area and picnic tables for lunch.
If you’re already a member of Wildwood, don’t forget to bring your membership card: non-members can see the admission prices on Wildwood’s website by clicking here. Visit the Wildwood website for more details and directions.
Click here to let us know you’re coming and we’ll keep you posted in the event of poor weather!
