Wild Play

Tue. 26 August 2025 — Wed. 27 August 2025

£8

Love playing and exploring outside? Join Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust nature inspired woodland sessions this summer holiday.

Wild Play events are perfect for children approximately 3-9 yrs. Younger siblings may attend for free with a paying child but aren't expected to participate (because the activities are not aimed at their age group). You only need to book a ticket for the participating children, but adults must stay too.

Totally outside, whatever the weather.

Events take place on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 10am–12pm.

Booking essential.

Summer holiday programme:

29–30 July: Survival! (J G Graves Woodland Discovery Centre)
5–6 August: Amazing Trees! (J G Graves Woodland Discovery Centre)
12–13 August: Art in the Woods (J G Graves Woodland Discovery Centre)
19–20 August: Woodland Adventure! (J G Graves Woodland Discovery Centre)
