Join us at Mourne Park to explore the wonders of an ancient woodland and learn all about the creatures that live within it.

On this interactive guided walk, we'll have activities that the whole family will enjoy. Get creative as we use nature's inspiration to make artworks using natural materials, then tap into your adventurous side as we explore the bluebell loop walk. There, we’ll learn more about the mammals and birds that call Mourne Park home, and how we can be champions for nature, whether we’re big or small!

Booking via our sign up form is essential.
