The Caterpillar Word Hunt
Join us this May half term for a family word hunt around Hestercombe House
This event has ended
Spark your little one's passion for reading with this creative summer trail, in which they will discover painted story stones in hidden areas around the gardens to fill in and create their own 'mad-libs' style story book!
In each area of the Landscape Garden, find the story stones and pick a word to write into your story - from beaches to blue tits, to mallards and mud pies! Whether you end up with a wacky and weird tale or a sensible sensical story is completely up to your child's choices - and they'll love heading from point to point to watch their story unfold.
