5pm. Join JAG Outdoors for a very family friendly festive walk around the forest at night. The event starts in the yurt for Christmas treats and a short chat about the stars and the route Santa will take in a few days’ time!! The walk will cover 2-3 miles of trails, and weather permitting there will be a stop for some amazing star gazing opportunities. Children under 12 must always be within reach of their responsible appropriate adult, older children must have an over 18 on site for the event. There are 3 points, after about 2 miles, at which we can offer you the option to return to the Visitor Centre if you or your little people are tired. This will be self-guided.
