Summer of Play: Woodland Science Lab with the Animal and Plant Health Agency

Whether you're visiting as part of our Summer of Play offer or want to come along just for this drop in event. Designed to inspire budding scientists, veterinarians or wildlife fans. This event is a fun and unique opportunity for children to see models and equipment they may have seen in television documentaries, like wildlife-tracking technology and giant DNA models. Activities include using microscopes, having a go at vaccinating thier own (soft toy) wildlife patients and watching badgers on wildlife cameras. This lab is designed for young people to understand the similiarities and connections between their own health, and that of wildlife, farming and the environment. As part of the trail, get involved with a "Wildlife Whodunnit!" - help the scientists crack the case. From just a few hairs left behind as evidence, scientists use DNA forensics to identify wildlife. From a line-up of suspects, become a wildlife detective, learn how the science works and identify the mystery animal.

Summer of Play at Tinkley Gate

With three play zones to discover dotted around Tinkley Gate, Woodchester Park this summer, there's plenty to make a full day out for all the family! Get active on the Rainbow Rush with some friendly competition: spacehopper races, a game of rainbow tag, or a mini obstacle course! Wind your way along the wildlife yoga trail for a change of pace in the Orchard. Have you ever tried the frog pose? Or visit the creative corner to unleash your artistic side at one of the easels or cook up a storm at the mud kitchen. There'll also be bookable Workshop Wednesdays to learn how to make a kite, create a tree spirit and more. If you're feeling peckish, grab a wood-fired pizza from Tinkley Gate Cafe or a scoop of ice cream to enjoy on those hot summer days. With many different activities, there’s plenty to excite all ages of children (and adults!).

Our workshops are a chance to get crafty, try something new, and have fun with family and friends. There'll be plenty of materials provided, and our volunteers will be on hand to help you get started. A suggested donation of £1 per crafter. No booking required – simply turn up and join in on the day. 3 sessions will run for an hour every Wednesday: - 11 - midday - 12.30pm - 1.30pm - 2pm - 3pm (Apart from Wednesday 5 August when the science lab is on instead.) 15 spaces for crafters per hour, each crafter can be accompanied by up to 2 others. If one session is full then spend your time having fun with all the other free Summer of Play activities, or stop in the cafe for an ice cream and come back for the next one! Come along and be part of the Summer of Play adventure!
