3Rs Family Fun in half term

What you need to know

Bring your family to Carymoor to learn more about the 3Rs – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Using our unique site on a capped landfill, our team will explain the benefits of recycling, show you around our nature reserve and include plenty of fun and games.

We are running two sessions.  One from 10am until 12.30pm and an afternoon session from 2pm - 4.30pm.


During each session we will:


- Visit our time tunnel and find out what is buried in the landfill site and what happens to our rubbish now.

- See how the capped landfill site has been turned into a nature reserve, full of wildlife. 

- See how garden waste is transformed into compost at Biffa's composting site.

- Take part in our 3R's themed games and challenges, fun for all the family.


You are welcome to bring a picnic and stay to have your lunch after the event finishes at 12.30pm if you are coming to the morning session.


These events are FREE to Somerset residents, thanks to support from Somerset Council Waste Services. However, places must be booked in advance.


Please note: These events are suitable for children aged 5-11 and their parents/carers. Those attending must be residents in the Somerset Council area (not BANES or North Somerset). Children must be accompanied by an adult. Spaces are limited for this event and we have space for 6 families (max of 5 people per family ticket).



Location

Carymoor Environmental Trust
Dimmer Lane, Castle Cary, Somerset, BA7 7NR United Kingdom

Carymoor shares its site and main entrance with the Dimmer recycling site and Waste Transfer Station.

Please be aware that there are often heavy vehicles moving around the site so a speed limit of 10mph is in operation.

Please stop at the traffic lights at the main entrance, joining the back of any queuing vehicles, and wait for a green light before driving through. Bear left before the weighbridge, go over the hill past the compost  until you reach the car park on the left, just before our Education Centre.
