Activities will include arts workshops: chalk carving, Roman and Saxon helmet making, Great Crested Newt making and willow bird feeders.  There will also be children’s battle re-enactment on the famous Faesten Dic, nature trails, guided walks and talks, mini-beast activities and pony rides from the car parking area to the event site in the heart of the woods.  There will be refreshments on site and a picnic area.

We would like to invite local groups to come to the event and participate…. You could have a stand to display information about your work, bring a demonstration of what you do, or run activities for the public to participate in…. or just come and enjoy the day!
