Tree Tots offers a range of seasonal activities designed just for under-5s.

Taking place in a dedicated area of Howe Park Wood every Thursday at 10am (Winter) or 10am and 11am (Summer).

😱 Hauntings at Quarry Theatre, Bedford (Ages 13+)
Thursday 12 December 2024
Time: 19:30 - 21:20 Price: £15.50
👻 Hauntings is a spellbinding evening of three tales of the supernatural from two of the world’s greatest writers of ghost stories, E.F. Benson and M.R. James.
😱 ABOUT
From E.F. Benson comes: ‘Naboth’s Vineyard’ - in which just deserts are meted out to an unscrupulous lawyer, and ‘The Hanging of Alfred Wadham’ - in which the forces of the devil test a man of faith to his limits.
From the master of the ghost story genre, M.R. JAMES, comes: ‘Oh, Whistle and I’ll Come to You, My Lad’ - in which a medieval spirit strikes terrorizes an arrogant professor. With masterful storytelling from the award-winning actor Gerard Logan, Hauntings will transport you to a world of invisible, but terrifyingly present, spirits.
🤩 REVIEWS

▪️The Tea Room
▪️Farm Shop
🚫 Please be aware pinics are not allowed.
❗️Please check either the website via the event link or photos for opening times.
♿️ IS THE ZOO ACCESSIABLE?
(Whatsup Bedfordshire advice)
The parking is on gravel stones so this maybe hard to navigate a wheelchair. Although it does mention on the website that you can park infront of the Farm Shop which is tarmac ideal for wheelchair users. The farm shop, Steak House & Tea room are accessible. On a winter day you may find the zoo area paths are muddy, with some gravel paths and grass, so it maybe hard to push a wheelchair in places. There is a wooden slat ramp to the Tropical house.
🚻 Accessible toilets - Accessible toilets are available in both the Steakhouse and Tea room.
🎟 NO BOOKING REQUIRED, JUST PAY ON THE GATE BY CASH OR CARD!
