Brick Explorers until 31 August

Brick Explorers

A brand-new interactive wildlife trail featuring spectacular sculptures – Brick Explorers – has now launched at Hyde Hall.

The trail encourages children to learn about the skills and behaviours that help wildlife survive, from moles and hares, to dragonflies and bees. Young explorers can collect wildlife “superpowers” in a special activity booklet, discovering how plants, animals and fungi are connected within the natural world.

Visitors can an also take part in hands-on brick building sessions, creating their own nature-inspired designs and imaginative green spaces. Special storytelling walks will also bring the gardens and their wildlife to life.
