About

Wrap up warm and join us at Tyland Barn to celebrate Christmas with a festive craft, wildlife trail, and treats around the cosy campfire.

Get into the festive spirit in the great outdoors with family friendly Christmas decoration making, followed by a seasonal trail that will lead you to some marshmallow toasting around the cosy campfire.

Come along to make a natural craft in our outdoor teaching shelter before setting off on a winter themed wildlife trail around the Nature Park & Gardens. The trail will lead you through a variety of different habitats before arriving at a cosy campfire where we will enjoy a hot chocolate and toasted marshmallow!

We'll provide all the materials needed for the activities but, as we'll be crafting and exploring outside, don't forget to dress for the weather!

Tyland Barn is a natural environment with unfenced ponds, so children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult at all times. £12 tickets give admission for one child and one adult. These events are popular with accompanying adults too! To help with capacity, any additional adults attending will require their own ticket. Free spaces are available for babies and toddlers who are too young to take part in the activities . Please make sure you book a ticket for everyone attending in your group, and a £12 or £10 ticket for all children taking part with the crafts and campfire (recommended for children that are 3 years and over, but this is at your discretion).

Sessions are scheduled for 1.5 hours, but please note that the timings are approximate as everyone will approach the activities at a different pace. You may find you have finished before the suggested time or that you would like to stay a little longer. You are welcome to be onsite any time between 10am and 4pm.

Unfortunately tickets cannot be refunded within 30 days of the event. We will try our best to transfer you to a new session if needed but cannot guarantee availability.
