Explore Nature at Gawthorpe Hall

Dates: 19 Aug 2026 - 19 Aug 2026

Location: Gawthorpe Hall - Burnley - Lancashire

The summer holidays are soon upon us, time out for teachers, children and parents. As a parent, you may wonder where you could entertain your child for three hours, keeping their inquisitive mind active…..

On Wednesday 19th August 2026 from 1pm – 4pm you can come along to ‘Explore nature at Gawthorpe Hall’ – Burnley – Lancashire.

It’s a fantastic opportunity to do some outdoor exploring with the National Trust Rangers. Dip a net into the pond and see what mini beasts you can find living there. Then head off to explore the secret Walled Garden home to flowers, butterflies and insects, plus you can have a go at snail racing and join in some nature crafts in the yurt.

The day is free drop-in event, no booking needed, children must be accompanied. This event is outside in the grounds - the paths can be uneven, and there are some steps on the way up to the pond.

Come and explore nature at Gawthorpe Hall in the pond and secret walled garden.
