Packs cost only £15 and need to be collected from the MESC. Nature Reserve Stoney Street Madley HR29NH
If you're keen to get creative and would like to support our charity in the process, please email contact@mesc.org.uk and we'll send you the payment and collection.
Schools & Groups
We offer curriculum based activities for children of all ages, from pre-school to KS4, along with Forest School based activities, including den building for those ‘off curriculum’ fundays.
Nature Workshops
Our workshops for older children and adults run throughout the year and suit most interests, including willow weaving, photography, fungi and astronomy.
Events & Family Days
Family days take place in the school holidays for ages 3-12 years. From campfire cooking to woodland pirates, pond dipping to wild art, there's something to suit all. Larger seasonal events such as Halloween and Christmas also take place each year.
Birthday Parties
Activities take place on our Nature Reserve and include a wide range of options depending on the age and interests of the group, including treasure hunts, den building, mud modelling and blindfold games.
Herefordshire's Hidden Gem
Our nature reserve includes wetlands, woodlands and meadows to enjoy and explore. And with our large log cabin, open barn and wooden shelters, even if it rains the weather won't dampen your day.
Where Nature meets Technology
Covering almost 15 acres of natural habitat we have a unique backdrop of the 32m diameter dishes of the BT Madley Satellite Earth Station. It really is the place where 'Nature meets Technology'
