This August, bring the family to Hatfield Park for a summer adventure in the great outdoors.
Wilderness Weekends are a series of outdoor activity days delivered by Camp Wilderness at Hatfield Park.
Taking place over three weekends in August, the event offers young visitors the opportunity to take part in a selection of practical, nature-inspired activities in the Park’s woodland surroundings.
Children can test their aim with archery, learn the technique of tomahawk throwing and create their own paracord bracelet to take home.
