Based on the enchanting book series by creator and author Tom Blofeld, you will find hints of the curious characters as you journey through the WILD wood.

English – BeWILDerwood is based on the enchanting tale, a Boggle at BeWILDerwood, which sees Swampy the March Boggle embark on a brave adventure. Walk in Swamy’s footsteps whilst in the woods and see the story come to life at the Storytelling Stage.

Shows are on multiple times a day at the Storytelling Stage. If you are visiting in a big group, please contact the BeWILDerwood team and they can recommend which show to attend.

“A fantastic day out. Loads to do and the site isn’t too big that you can’t cover it in a few hours. Staff are friendly and helpful. Two cafes with plenty of snack choices and decent coffee, prices reasonable enough but you can take picnics and there are lots of picnic tables and places for grown-ups to sit and watch the kids” – H Carroll on Google.

“Great outdoor spaces for children to explore and enjoy free play. Beautifully set out in the woods, full of adventure around every corner. Well maintained, clean and plenty of amenities. Children absolutely loved it.” – Lesley Smith on Facebook.
