During the school holidays we also host children's events for those over 6 years old: these include wolf walks, creative writing workshops: wolf keeper days and depending on the time of year pumpkin parties and Easter egg hunts.

All events require ADVANCED booking as numbers are strictly limited. The Trust also has several Open Days each year during which anyone can attend. Further information can be found on the Trust's website.
