Join us for day of all things animals!!

You'll get an animal-handling workshop, craft session, pottery session and a Bugs n Bees outdoor activity!

The exciting animal-handling workshops by Primary Workshops for Schools help children learn about exotic animals in a safe, controlled environment. The sessions are fully interactive and we make time for every child to touch or hold the animals. This close-up experience helps to build confidence, as well as making the day truly memorable! Especially useful if your child is covering curriculum-based topics such as Rainforest, Mini-beasts, Nocturnal Animals and Lifecycles.

The craft session with Westy tutor Amanda Buchan will get them thinking about textures and colours - get messy! 

In our pottery studio they'll be creating under the theme Beasty Clay with our potter Fiona Sandover. 

Then head outdoors to make either a bug mansion or bee loving flower pot to take home with Blooming Marvelous!

Date: Thursday 31st July 2025
