Spring is in the air, new life is blossoming at Wildwood and our Easter programme is now in place. We have plenty of activities to entertain adults and children over the egg-citing two week period, including free talks, feeds, activities and a FREE 'Find the Bunny' trail with a draw for some great prizes.
We also have our menagerie of British wildlife from past and present, a new wolf enclosure and viewing area, a new kiosk for tasty snacks and beverages, the bears out of hibernation and our egg-xtraordinary playpark - all wrapped up in 40 acres of ancient woodland.
We can't wait to see you this Easter!
