This October half-term, enroll at Dragon School and take on a fun-filled outdoor trail inspired by the best-selling picture book written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.
Taking place across Wakehurst’s beautiful botanic gardens this October, families will take part in five activities based on the story, as little ones learn more about perseverance, friendship, and teamwork, while making muddy memories with their families and friends.
Learn to fly, roar, breathe fire, and more - through fun challenges, sensory elements, and interactive games on a trail of imaginative play and discovery.
