Places are very limited and booking is essential. All children must be registered using a consent form, which must be completed in advance: “This form will give us the information we need to run the session safely and support all the children, and includes vital information such as emergency contacts, allergies, and photo consent.  Please help us to run safe sessions by completing this form if you intend to bring a child to Woodland Wonders and have not done so this year.”
