Join our friends at Heaton Park this October half term for a week of nature fun, mixing science, art and imagination.

Use microscopes and macro lenses to take a closer look at the tiny bugs living in the park. Create spooky artwork using natural materials, inspired by bats, bugs and other night-time creatures.

Then, follow the Hidden Horrors Trail around the park. Just pick up your booklet from reception and try to spot all ten spooky characters hiding around the park.

Activities run Monday to Friday, 10.30 am–2:30 pm, in The Stables Courtyard.
