About the event

Join us to celebrate this new children's book inspired by the wilding project taking place at West Blean and Thornden Woods, right here in Kent! There will be a story-telling session from Kent Wildlife Trust's Education team, and the chance to make your own mini bison and butterfly to take home with you.

We'll provide all the materials needed for the activities, and you'll take home your bison and butterfly crafts. You may like to bring an apron to protect clothing or wear something easy to clean.

Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times, £10 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 (recommended for over 3 years, but this is at your discretion). Please make sure you book a ticket for everyone attending in your group.

Tickets are available for five sessions across the day. 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 longer. You are welcome to be onsite any time between 10am and 4pm for exploring or picnicking. The Pond Cafe will also be open for lunches, snacks and hot drinks.

Copies of The Bison & the Butterfly will be available to purchase at the event for £9.99.
