Summer Holidays: Brick Explorers

About this event

This summer holidays, families are invited to explore the spectacular Royal Horticultural Society gardens near Great Torrington (one of only five in the country) in an immersive wildlife trail featuring intricately hand-crafted brick creations and hands-on building activities, in collaboration with Iconic Bricks. Visitors can follow a family trail to discover ten ‘wildlife superheroes’, learning about the unique abilities and behaviours that help different species survive and thrive. Using an activity booklet, there is the chance to collect superhero ‘superpowers’ and match the stickers whilst exploring the gardens, discovering how plants, fungi, and animals are connected within natural ecosystems. Guests are encouraged to take close note of their surroundings as the displays appear in varied sizes and at different levels, from up above to nestled among flower beds and positioned within naturalistic settings. The ten sculptures include a wildflower wall, a life-size Greater Spotted Woodpecker, a giant bee and beetle, a big hedgehog and a large otter.
