Wellington Monument will be hosting – for the first time – summer holiday adventures for children in July and August.

The National Trust team will be at Wellington Monument on Mondays between 10am-2pm from July 30 to August 27 with Go Wild at the Monument days.

Emma Jones, community engagement and fundraising officer, said: “I’m so pleased to be working closely with the Wellington community and can’t wait to meet families during the summer holidays.

“Children of all ages are welcome – there will be a chance to get stuck in with an activity and get closer to nature.”

Emma added: “We’re pleased to be able to say we’re committed to saving the monument.

“We’re launching a fundraising campaign and hope that our events will help towards saving the monument and keep it special for ever, for everyone.”

All activities are free and no booking is necessary – however a suggested donation of £2 per child is welcomed.
