Let’s Spring into Westonbirt: Nature’s Playground Awaits


Spring blossom at Westonbirt Arboretum

Enjoy spring at Westonbirt Arboretum with family trails, Stick Man fun and unlimited visits with membership to Friends of Westonbirt + Kids go free!

 

Westonbirt Arboretum is the ultimate outdoor destination for families this spring and beyond, offering unlimited visits, free range play, and a place to make lasting memories – all made possible through membership with the Friends of Westonbirt Arboretum.

With over 600 acres of woodland and one of the most spectacular tree collections in the world, Westonbirt Arboretum is a haven for children to explore, connect with nature, and run wild in nature’s playground.

Puddle Stomping and Mud Pie Making Encouraged!

Westonbirt is a space where childhood is celebrated – a place to build dens, splash through muddy puddles, hunt for bugs, and embrace imaginative play under the towering canopy. It is a landscape that builds confidence, encourages creativity, and nurtures children’s natural curiosity.

Spring into Adventure

There’s no better time to make the most of Westonbirt in spring, and with annual membership from just £45, families can enjoy unlimited visits all year round. Even better, KIDS GO FREE – members can bring up to four children or grandchildren (under 18) at no extra cost.

Membership not only unlocks a year of exploration, it supports vital tree conservation projects that protect this unique landscape for generations to come.

👉 Friends of Westonbirt Arboretum Membership – JOIN TODAY!

What’s On This Spring at Westonbirt Arboretum

The season brings a host of family-friendly events and trails to enjoy:

  • Spring Family Trail (daily) – Become a biodiversity detective and discover Westonbirt’s living wonders through interactive trail challenges.
  • The Stick Man Trail (daily until September) – Follow Stick Man’s journey home through fun, hands-on activities and forest facts.
  • BioBlitz – 26 & 27 April – Join experts in a species-spotting extravaganza, recording everything from birds to bryophytes in a celebration of biodiversity.
  • The Arb Show – 16 & 17 May – Explore tree climbing, competitions, and educational talks as Westonbirt celebrates the world of arboriculture.

Celebrating 40 Years of Friends

In 2025, the Friends of Westonbirt Arboretum mark four decades of supporting The National Arboretum – funding conservation, delivering projects, and connecting people with trees. Membership is more than a pass – it’s a promise to protect and enjoy nature, now and into the future.
