Garden Explorers

Garden Explorers is an adventurous group for children and their carers which takes place at Great Dixter, based from the Education room at Dixter Farm.

This session is for school-aged children. Weather dependent we will head to the woods for a free flow morning of fun (*the plan will be amended on this event if needed.) We'll meet in the room and mix up some welshcakes - ingredients flour, butter, egg, sugar, raisins- please bring subs if you have allergies etc) before heading down to the woods for a fire and an adventure with a snack and hot drinks. If you haven't been to the woods before please note that it's a long (ish) walk for little legs. It's buggy-able part-way but you may prefer to bring a sling for babes in arms as well as a mat for them to sit on. 

Please note that the garden is open to the public and so car parking can be tight later in the morning. Please help us out by parking sensibly, pulling up tight to the hedges/ cars next to you and pulling as far forward as you are able to to either the ropes or hedges- Thank you

Booking is from 9pm the night before the session

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Information for new Garden Explorers:
There are baby changing facilities in the education room and the White Barn, next to the ticket office. There is lots of room for buggies inside the education room but when in the garden, we leave them by the ticket office and stick to the paths at all times.
