Squirrels Go Wild

Squirrels Go Wild (For Squirrels and their Families)

Enjoy a day out at Gibside for Squirrels and their families with Houghton-Le-Spring Scouts, we've got a day planned to get us outdoors and active, with games, challenges, a visit to the brilliant Strawberry Castle Play Park, a chance to make some new friends and of course an ice cream stop.

An Event For Families

This is a family event and squirrels must attend with a parent. Familes are welcome to attend as a whole family... please book individuals in on our booking system i.e. for a family of 3, you will need to make 3 bookings. We have places for 35 families.

What to Wear / Bring

Prepare to be outdoors all day and dress for the weather. We're doing a huge sun dance, but you never know what the British weather will throw at us, so we recommend bringing a waterproof and sun cream - ready for anything.

Families are welcome to either bring a packed lunch or there are a variety of food outlets you can visit around lunchtime. We'll be near the woodfired pizza hut and the cafe which serves takeaway sandwiches. An ice cream or hot drink will be provided mid afternoon (weather dependent).

Water bottles can be topped up at various places across the day.
