Events for little ones
Family-friendly events for all ages
We're here to inspire your little ones about Yorkshire's amazing wildlife and wild places! There are so many options - come along to a monthly club or join us or an adventure at the coast, in the woodlands or amongst the wetlands!
We offer lots of events during the school holidays - perfect for busy parents looking for things to do. We also run some summer schools at Stirley, where your child can join us for several days a week to immerse themselves in wild activities!
Booking is required for all events, and apart from the summer school, all children need to be accompanied by an adult. If you want to find an event near where you live, you can search by location on our map.
