Home Education World War Two Day 22nd January 2026

Join Notts Outdoors at Bestwood Environmental Education Centre, as we travel back in time to 1939 to learn about life during World War Two. We will tap into the rich wartime history of Bestwood Country Park to discover what it is like to be evacuated far away from home. Following this, we will try to find a spy, attempt to diffuse a bomb, identify planes and learn about different types of bomb shelters.  

Children must be accompanied by an adult, and one free adult space will be allocated to each booking.

If you need to bring an additional adult, please contact us before the sessions you have booked on to and we will do our best to accommodate your requests.
