Visit Howe Park Wood during the summer holidays for our Open Days and gain access to the Education Centre. The centre is free to visit and is family-friendly for all ages, drop-in anytime between 10:00am-3:00pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout summer.

We will have artefacts on display such as nests, skulls and feathers, found across our different parks, nature-themed challenges, and self-guided trails. Additional charged family pond dipping sessions are also available to book in advance.

Howe Park Wood is one of the city’s jewels, a tranquil oasis, humming with wildlife and colour. As well as being home to a wide variety of wildlife, Howe Park Wood boasts more than 200 plant species, some so rare that English Nature has designated it a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its wildlife value.

There is free parking available on site, public toilets and Grounds Café for refreshments.
