Nature Tots at Tilgate Park

Nature Tots at Tilgate Park is part of Sussex Wildlife Trust's programme, run by its Gatwick Greenspace project at Tilgate Park in Crawley.

Nature Tots is a Forest School programme providing a wonderful opportunity for your little ones to experience and learn from nature. Hands-on outdoor activities are themed around wildlife and the changing seasons.

What to expect:

• Thursdays 10am to 12 noon, sold as a block of five: 5, 12, 19 and 26 November and 3 December 2026
• For 3 to 5 year olds with an accompanying adult
• Tracks and signs, hedgehogs and nocturnal animals, flappy bats and festive tree decorating, plus bug hunting, campfire and mud kitchen
