JOIN in the Easter fun at the Forestry Commission’s National Arboretum at Westonbirt, with a host of fantastic family activities.

As the trees wake up for spring, explore the arboretum on the New beginnings and new plantings trail. Meet the babies of the tree collection and have a go at fun activities along the way. The family trail is available in the Old Arboretum and Silk Wood throughout March, April and May.

Until Friday, April 1, you can take part in the New Beginnings craft event in the Silk Wood Barn between 11am and 4pm, where youngsters can have a go at making mosaic leaves and their very own 3D mini spring garden,

There is also a chance to hear more about the precious baby trees and how Westonbirt looks after them by joining in with Westonbirt’s New Plantings event running from Monday, April 4 until Thursday, April 7 from 11am to 4pm in the Learning Centre. Children can make their own planting stakes or willow wind streamers to take home with them.

Both events are included in the cost of admission, which is currently £9 for adults, £6 for concessions and £3 for children. Friends of Westonbirt Arboretum members receive free admission.
