About the event

Join us for Wild Winter Weekends at Potteric Carr from 23rd November - 15th December. 

Create festive crafts on "Crafturday Saturdays" or spend some time soaking up the magic of the season during "Slow-down Sundays". All set to a background of natural and homemade decorations, and the opportunity to make a wish for wildlife on our Christmas tree.
