Workshops at Hauxley
NOTE: We're sorry, due to Covid-19 all of our workshops at Hauxley have been cancelled. We hope to reschedule many of the activities once Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre is open and things have settled.
Introduction
Our adult learning workshops cover a wide range of related subjects including species identification, practical skills, crafts, photography and more. Every course is led by an experienced professional who is an expert in their field.
The workshops are based at Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre which has indoor learning facilities, a lovely café and some of the richest and varied wildlife in the county.
General Information
For workshops involving time outdoors, please bring suitable outdoor clothing and footwear. Sunscreen is required in warm weather and wind/water-proof clothing is required in colder weather.
Whilst light refreshments are provided during classroom sessions, lunch is not included in any of our adult programmes. Please ensure you bring your own lunch with you. Alternatively you may purchase a range of lunch items, hot and cold drinks from our own café.
Please notify staff in advance if you have any medical requirement or disability which may affect your participation in the workshop by calling 01665 568 324.
