Stibbington Centre Open Day Church Ln Stibbington PE8 6LP

Stibbington Centre Open Day

Saturday, May 12th

The Stibbington Centre, near Wansford, is well known by families and schools across Cambridgeshire and neighbouring counties. School visits started even before the current Centre was built thirty years ago and the Centre has welcomed more than 500,000 children for their tailor-made “Stibbington Adventure”. The main emphasis of visits may be linked to the natural environment or times gone by, frequently combining the two in the true spirit of outdoor learning!
On the 12th May 2018, the centre is celebrating a 30th Anniversary. We are encouraging families to be part of a fun-filled, family open day at Stibbington Centre, Church Lane, Stibbington, Peterborough, PE8 6LP. Entry - adults £2, under 16yrs £1. A wide range of activities will be on offer including pond dipping, environmental art and craft, lessons in the period classroom, trips to the Stibbington nature reserve and a village treasure trail. We are particularly hoping people will help us prepare for a world record challenge by folding Origami butterflies. There will also be a chance to view nature-inspired work by local professional Artists. Refreshments will be available throughout the day.
Helen Johnston, Centre Manager, commented:
“We are very excited to be celebrating a 30th Anniversary and look forward to welcoming everyone to STIBBfest. As well as offering a fun day out, STIBBfest provides an opportunity to share memories, meet friends both new and old and sample what Stibbington has to offer. We hope visitors will take ideas back to use at home or in schools, they may even be inspired to become involved with the future of the Centre.
The importance of Outdoor Learning is now well recognised and there has never been a more crucial time to engage children with the environment. To be able to do this on a site which is also well-respected for immersive history experiences for children, makes the Stibbington experience unique. For many children, Stibbington has offered a safe and cosy haven for that first independent stay away from home. There is a very good chance that the parents and grandparents of our visitors today have also enjoyed a school visit to the Centre.”
