CONKERS in Moira is offering a range of family-friendly craft and ranger-led activities during Whit Week later this month.

You can drop in on the National Forest-based visitor attraction during May 23-31, to see what is on offer.

With an immersive Enchanted Forest experience theme, families can enjoy woodland crafts, amphitheatre shows, the Conkachoo train, 4D cinema film, ranger activities and much more.

During the week, there will be shows such as Welcome to the Enchanted Forest and Fudge & Co – Exotic Animal Encounters.

CONKERS rangers will be hosting activities including sensory art, bushcraft, woodland crafts and bug hunting, with a range of outdoor pursuits also on offer - swan pedalos, archery and kata-canoeing.

In Creatives Corner, children can paint a pot or they can reach new heights on the super-high wooden structured Ropes Course.

There are also a number of imaginative play zones to enjoy.

Nicky Carlton at CONKERS said: “Children will love all on offer in the Enchanted Forest at CONKERS this Whit Week. They’ll be spoilt for choice – whether they want to show their artistic or adventurous sides!”
