Starting Wednesday
THE school holidays are starting - and where better to be active and enjoy the fresh air than the iconic Ashdown Forest.
Its holiday club for 5 to -11 year-olds kicks off next on Wednesday 26 July in the morning with the first in a series of morning/afternoon sessions.
The subject is Brilliant Beetles and Nightjars - the Masters of Camouflage. Each Holiday Club promises to deliver a summer full of discovery, exploration and making.
Ash Walmsley, the forest's Countryside Manager, said: "Summer is a wonderful time to enjoy the many splendours of Ashdown Forest.
"And now the summer holidays are here, we know the Forest will be busy with visitors, both local and from further away.
"That's how we like it - we want people to come and enjoy the outside world. "Our holiday club is always very popular - it's a great learning and great fun for the children."
Over the course of the next few Wednesdays, the holiday club will cover:
· Brilliant Beetles
· Dragonflies and damselflies - aerial hunters
· Nocturnal animals, bats, badgers and owls
· Spiders and other mini-beasts
· Bees and wasps
· Deer and other mammals
· Tree's - nature's lungs
· Raptors - buzzards, kites, hobbys and kestrels
· Grasshoppers and crickets
· Adders and lizards.
Each session costs £5.80 per child (includes parking). Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Come to as many sessions as you like! Pre-booking is essential.
