Celebrate Brave at the Botanics

Come to the Botanics on Sunday 19 August for a special day to celebrate the launch of the new Disney Pixar movie Brave.

Highlights include:

Pick up a bow and arrow and try your hand at archery (suitable for adults and children 7+) from 11am until 3pm. Children will be safely introduced to the basics with light fibreglass bows, guided by qualified archery leader Rusty Bodkins www.archery4kids.co.uk, in medieval dress. Cost £2 for 8 arrows.

Enjoy Tales of the Forest at storytelling sessions for children over four years old in the John Hope Gateway between 2pm and 3.30pm. Free entry.

Follow the new Tree Trail which highlights the Botanics’ magnificent and historic tree collection. Leaflets are available from the Visitor Welcome Desk in the John Hope Gateway.

Take advantage of a special discount on Tales from the Forest by Ian Edwards – a wonderful book of folk tales which encapsulate man’s essential relationship with trees, accompanied with beautiful black and white ink drawings by Edinburgh-based illustrator Eri Griffin. On offer at £4.50 in the Botanics Shop (normal price £6).
