And Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for October half term. All outdoors. One hour sessions in Minehead, Exford and other locations possible.

There are some free spaces so if you'd like to book please private message the FUN project, or email Lucy at lmcquillan@exmoor-nationalpark.gov.uk or phone or text Lucy on 07966 515580

We'll be having FUN doing nature games and crafts and learning about nature!

The situation with Covid restrictions is changing daily so I am taking bookings on a weekly basis and would now like to offer a 'waiting list' so that if someone drops out I can phone you and offer your family a session.

The sessions are one hour activity sessions for one family per session (or two families if we can keep below 6 people)
For example: Lucy (ENP FUN), two adults and one child and one adult and one child.= 6 people
