Fun for the family, but more so for children. You get to hear about trees, some truths, some fibs, and have fun making up tall stories about them too.
Everyone has heard of an ‘old wive’s tale’ or two about a tree – here’s your chance to test your wits and your story telling powers – to discover which stories are tree or false?
60 minutes – accompanied children 7+ (siblings, parents and grandparents welcome)
Free event
