Want to find out if you’re a Super Hero or Super Villain of nature? This is the event for you!

Nature is full of the most amazing super heroes. Our countryside is full of things that can hear things you can’t hear, see in the dark and lift weights that would put a super hero to shame! Join us to take part in our Super Hero academy from Saturday 24 May to Sunday 1 June.

The academy team will put you through your paces and see if you can hear like a bat, see like a badger and pull as much as a mouse!

But, as you know with every good hero, there are the baddies too – our Super Villains! Find out how they affect our environment and how we can create the best spaces to let our native wildlife thrive.

New for 2025, we are welcoming our inflatable activity zone, kids (and grown ups alike!) can challenge themselves and each other on the Super Hero obstacle course. The 42 foot course includes a biff n bash section as well as an up and over slide. You will need all your super powers to complete it!
