The Adventures of Dexter the Dragon

Daily Kids Trail in the Woodland

Join us this summer for an interactive story trail, where Dexter the Dragon Scout embarks on a quest to gather his summer challenge badges amidst the enchanting Warren Wood. However, there’s a slight hitch – whenever Dexter laughs or sneezes, he breathes fire… meaning his badge challenges are literally going up in smoke!

Follow Dexter’s journey and see if he triumphs despite his fiery antics. Along the way, join in the fun by taking on the summer challenge badges yourself. Complete them all to earn a prize!

Our summer trail is perfect for children aged 3-8 years. We’ve also created a separate trail booklet specifically designed for 9-12 year olds, ensuring our woodland adventure is engaging for all.

Cost: £4 per trail, plus Garden admission to include a prize. Free to Members (Child or Family Memberships).
