To accompany the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition at Sewerby Hall and Gardens, Under 5s Go Wild will return for 2023, with fun activities for Under 5s and their grown-ups.
Every day during the run of the exhibition (Friday, 5th May – Sunday, 16th July), young visitors can pick up and borrow a Garden Explorer Pack from the Welcome Centre and investigate the beautiful gardens. There will also be a daily opportunity to Hunt for Big Bugs in the house – minibeasts have taken over, and the challenge will be to find them all!
In the zoo, there will be daily afternoon feeding sessions, with a chance to learn more about the lemurs, coatis, penguins and hoof stock.
In addition, there will be three special Activity Days on the theme of nature, on Fridays 19 May, 16th June and 14th July. On all three days, there will be morning story times on an animal theme, with North Bridlington library staff; fun music with Kathy Seabrook (nursery rhymes, singing, dancing, and a chance to play percussion); and animal art with Claire West, a chance to make bright, bold art about animals.
All these activities will take place in the Orangery – there is no need to book, just turn up.
Lucy Cooke, Under 5s learning co-ordinator, said : “We are very much looking forward to welcoming our youngest visitors and their families to Sewerby Hall and Gardens during this stunning exhibition, and this exciting and fun programme of activities will ensure that they have a great time during their visit – and learn about animals and nature at the same time!”
