Sussex Wildlife Trust will frighten your kids for a small fee. They’ll be led on a candlelit walk around the woods, meet some real owls and bats and learn some interesting facts about these not so spooky creatures. Fancy dress costumes welcome. Suitable for children aged 5-11 years. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Thursday 31 October 17:30 – 19:30, members £10 per child, non members £13 per child. Book here.

Le Weekend
From the West Sussex County Times:
New research published by the [South Downs National Park] Authority shows that a fifth of Sussex parents travelling by car have felt their blood pressure rise and one in ten has been reduced to tears. And a third of drivers have pulled over suddenly because of fighting and more than a third have had their plans ruined by traffic. .. Nick Stewart, from SDNPA, said: “We all know that travelling by car can be a demanding experience, with tantrums and traffic jams often causing stress levels to rise.”
More bus propaganda here. Those who prefer bribery to moral exhortation should note that bus passengers can “get discounts at the Shepherd and Dog Pub in Fulking and the Hiker’s Rest at Saddlescombe”.

Tutorial events for kids at Stanmer Park
If you missed booking a Sussex Wildlife Trust event for your children at Woods Mill, or if the dates weren’t right, then you might want to consider the rather similar range of events at Stanmer Park. For crows, Stanmer Park is much further away from Fulking than Woods Mill, but the travel time in a car is only five to ten minutes longer.
