Just Act Natural - Wild Autumn

Be in Nature, Be Yourself

We understand just how important it is for families with a child who has learning difficulties or disabilities to have access to enjoyable experiences that provide them with opportunities to meet others in similar situations.

That’s why we’ve put together these unique events which allows families of all shapes and sizes to come together in a supportive environment, share experiences, learn new skills and have lots of fun!

So come along and make some lasting memories - we look forward to seeing you!

Thanks to funding from The National Lottery Community Fund we are pleased to be able to provide a number of special events designed to give families with a child/young person (up to 25) with learning difficulties or a disability an opportunity to come to Carymoor. 

Join us to explore our nature reserve and find out about the wildlife that lives here!

Activities* may include

  • Discover what wild creatures are doing to get ready for winter
  • get creative with natural materials
  • make a bird feeder
  • relax in our woodland
  • meet other families and make new friends
  • and more!

The day starts at 10am with a welcome and refreshments.   Activities are planned throughout the day which you can choose to take part in.  The day finishes at 3pm

Tickets are £7 per person, with under 2's going free.  The event is part funded by The National Lottery Community Fund. 

*Exact activities may change from this to meet everybody’s needs and/or the weather conditions on the day. 


*We will tailor the event to suit the needs of the individuals in the group so it is important you let us know in advance of any requirements you and your family may have.  Our experienced team will be there to guide you through activities that will be tailored to suit all ages and abilities.
