Little Acorns: Planet Play
Little Acorns Starry Skies Winter Series
Step into a world of nighttime wonder as the Earth Trust gardens transform into a sparkling, sensory playground for curious young explorers. Each session in our Little Acorns Starry Skies series invites families to experience the magic of nature after dark – from constellations and storytelling to playful outdoor adventures that celebrate the beauty of winter evenings.
Each event is based on a different aspect of the night sky, so you can choose your favourite heavenly theme, or come along to all three for an inspiring series of learning about the wonders of the universe!
Designed especially for children aged 3–8 and their grown-ups, these cosy twilight gatherings blend discovery, creativity and outdoor fun in a safe, enchanting setting. Wrap up warm and get ready to make star-lit memories together.

They are child-led experiences, so our tutors support and guide children, but do not direct them, to allow each child to lead their own learning while developing their curiosity for nature.
