| Spring is in the air, new life is blossoming at Wildwood and our Easter programme is starting this Saturday. We have plenty of Easter shenanigans to entertain adults and children over the egg-citing two week period, culminating in the big Easter weekend. All of our bookable events take place between 10:30 and 11:30 in the mornings and cost £4 per session (apart from our Junior Keeper day). Please contact education@wildwoodtrust.org or phone us on 01227 712111 to book an event or to find out more information. * All events must be booked in advance.
