This event takes place outdoors in a beautiful wooded area at Millthorpe School, just off Scarcroft Road in the South Bank area of York.
A quick note: our campfire is paused for now. Millthorpe's academy trust has put fire activities on hold across all its sites, so this applies to everyone who uses them, not just Wild Things. Everything else runs as usual!
For children
At Wild Things we embrace all things mud, bugs and marshmallows!
It’s a big claim, but many parents tell me that Wild Things is the best group they found in York…
It’s great for those families who are keen to get outdoors, have adventures and learn about nature.
It’s also great for those families who are naturally a bit fair weather and need a date in the diary to make sure they get their vitamin D boost that day.
During the school holidays Wild Things runs one-off sessions for pre-school children & primary aged children.
During term time Wild Things runs Explorers on Mondays & Fridays, these are play & stay sessions for under 5s.
The sessions run from Wild Things’ site, in the grounds of Millthorpe School, just off Scarcroft Road in York.
Wild Things is accessible on foot, bike, bus and car - however during term time there is no parking at the school. For suggestions of where to park.
Our location is so convenient to the centre of York, Bishy Road and Rowntree Park and lots of our families make the most of their day by visiting these places after.
