REWILD YOUR CHILD
Children are very welcome in all areas of Knepp, including Knepp Wilding Kitchen & Shop. The only age restrictions that apply are on our safaris and accommodation (minimum age 12 years). Children have a wonderful time exploring the wild and natural landscape, our tree platforms and bird hides are particularly popular with little explorers.
Rewild Your Child Workshops
Let Zoologist Ryan Greaves unleash your child’s wild side with fun, hands-on activities and creative challenges in our beautiful ancient woodland, helping your little explorers build confidence in nature. These 2-hour sessions will teach young Wildlings to use tools for bush crafts, build and light a fire, search for signs of wildlife and channel their inner beavers to build mini-dams. They’ll make homes for different creatures and discuss ways to bring rewilding into their own outdoor space or school yard.Â
Sessions available for 3-6 and 7-11 year olds.
More to explore
Wildlife Walks & Tracking –  Explore 16 miles of public footpaths through Knepp’s rewilded landscapes, climb tree platforms and enter our bird hide, spotting free-roaming deer, longhorn cattle, Exmoor ponies, Tamworth pigs and soaring white storks as you go.
Wilding Kitchen – Rest tired legs in the comfort of the courtyard and restaurant, where you’ll find a seasonal menu of sustainable, organic dishes, as well as a children’s menu of delicious food designed for hungry little explorers to fuel their next adventure. Our airstream trailer located in the courtyard also serves a selection of light bites and drinks (weather permitting).
Wilding Shop – Discover a treasure trove of children’s books, toys and adventure kits for little nature explorers, alongside gifts, fresh produce and books for grown ups.
A Sense of Wonder – Our population of white storks are just beginning to rebuild their nests. Keep an eye on the skies as you wander our walking routes to spot them circling and swooping as they gather materials for this year’s nests.
