Wild About Autumn
We may be waving farewell to the last days of summer, but September spells bags of muddy-boot escapism.
Pick up our Autumn Wanders Guide and let curiosity lead the way. Wow the senses on a Kitchen Garden experience, or harness-up for a brand new tree climb.
What's On this Autumn
Roll into Autumn with climbing, craft and curiosity around every corner of the estate.
Holiday Forest School
Whether you're looking for a morning activity or a full day of fun, our Forest School runs in holidays throughout the year and encourages hands on learning and practical skills led by nature.
Shorts, Crafts and Outdoor Activities
All Newtlings activities are rooted in the estate’s craft and expertise. From horticulture and ecology to engineering and making, these sessions offer focused moments of fun and learning that are practical, engaging and distinctly ‘Newt’. Some workshops are longer, but we also run 'Shorts' which keep things bitesized.
Previous activities have included Junior Joiners: The Big Bird Box Build, Newtlings Beekeepers: Inside the Hive and Young Falconers: The Art of Falconry. Tree Climbing is a returning favourite, alongside seasonal specials such as lantern making and shadow puppetry.
Movement & Storytelling
A monthly movement-filled journey for Newtlings and their grown-ups alike.
Held in our beautiful Story of Gardening space, these guided sessions weave together gentle yoga-inspired movement, music, breathwork and storytelling, inviting families to stretch, giggle, explore and unwind together.
Expect calm moments and playful ones, all moving at your own pace. You’re free to dip in and out as you need, and enjoy a chance to socialise with other families after the session.
Seasonal Trails
Updated throughout the year, our seasonal trails blend learning, storytelling and exploration, plotting a new route across the estate as the year progresses.
Tapping into the promise of spring, the energy of summer, or the quiet magic of winter, each trail traces its way through our gardens and green spaces, with moments of curiosity and special surprises woven in.
Roam and Discover
Wandering the grounds you'll find plenty of entertainment for young adventurers. From the Viper to the Snail Mound, grab a map and go explore!
