We have a wide range of events running throughout the year, with something for everyone. If you have any questions about our events please contact us.
Join us on a secret mission this February half-term to find the eco-guards’ hidden location. Collect your case notes at the start of the trail and begin piecing together clues to find the secret hideout.
Learn the skills of an eco-guard along the way, from sending commands through a walkie-talkie and navigating with a compass, to studying animal tracks and camera traps! Remember, the mission must be kept secret – the illegal hunters can’t know you’re coming! Complete the free trail and receive a sticker reward.
The fun doesn’t stop there! For all new ‘eco-guards’ there are fun games and activities waiting to be explored. Can you put your new skills to the test? It’s not just the eco-guards who are hiding!
The Zoo Detectives family fun trail is a great way to engage young minds, where they’ll have to work out clues and piece together information. It’s aimed at those aged 2 to 12 years old, with additional detective challenges for older children.
This is a Free event, however if you’re able to donate to allow us to improve and continue with these free events please donate https://fcdc.org.uk/donate/
It is essential that all of our events and activities are enjoyable, welcoming and inclusive to all and we rely on all of our families who attend to ensure this is the case. For all our family events parents will be expected to be responsible for their children at all times to ensure we have a respectful, safe and inclusive environment. If there are any concerns or anyone does not feel this is the case please approach either staff or trustees who will always be available at all events.
If it is your first time attending an event or you don’t know anyone else attending, please let the organisers know and they will link you with another parent as part of our buddy system.
If you are available to work at an event, please email Helen at helen@fcdc.org.uk, stating the event you are interested in.
