Summer Holidays at the Welsh Wildlife Centre

At the Welsh Wildlife Centre we have an exciting range of outdoor nature activities and indoor craft events to keep you happy, whatever the weather, during the summer holidays. Starting on 26th July and running until 1st September most activities are suitable for children aged 3+ and cost just £4 each.
  • Wednesday mornings at 11:30am we have a ‘Mini-beast Safari’ to two different habitats; discover what lurks beneath the leaf litter then use a sweep net to find creatures that inhabit the meadows.
  • Wednesdays between 1:30-3:30pm we have ‘Crafty Afternoons’ sessions- Come and paint a planter, wind chime, ladybird house or wooden animal to take home.
  • Thursday mornings at 11:30am learn to make a strong, stable hideout in our shelter building session. (Age 6+)
  • Thursdays between 1:30-3:30pm we’re getting creative with clay modelling sessions; make your favourite woodland creature using air-drying clay and natural materials.
  • Friday mornings at 11:30am are ‘Fresh Air Fun’ sessions; each week it will be different depending on the weather and other factors but could include guided nature walks, bird watching, plant safari but always learning about the wildlife here and completing hands-on activities along the way.
  • Fridays between 1:30-3:30pm is another crafty session, this time paint a slate as a lovely memento of your visit here.
