Britain's What's On Event Guide
Halloween Spooktacular Public Open Day @ Millie College, Holton Lee
Join us this October half term, for an autumnal walk around the 350 acre nature reserve, with a spooky twist courtesy of our students and participants. Explore the campus and meet our rescued animals, enjoy a ghoulish treat in our pop up café, Faith's Kitchen, or take a stroll through the gardens, to witness the development and progress for our kitchen garden and plant nursery.
There will be a pumpkin trail in the grounds, practice your wand making skills or indulge in the woodland crafts with our creative team. If you are just batty about conservation then explore the different habitats on site and see if you can spot any of our resident wildlife. If they are hiding during your visit, then you can follow our AWE trail, produced by the Bournemouth University team, using QR codes to capture footage and sounds when the staff have all gone home.
Well behaved dogs on leads welcome.
In September 2022, this unique site became home to Shaftesbury Millie College ( previously known as Livability), catering for students aged 16+ with a wide range of special educational needs. The curriculum has been aligned to the areas of enterprise we run on site, including animal care, horticulture, conservation, catering and retail. We are slowly opening up the site to the local community, and would love your support to build an audience that will enable our students, to gain life and work based skills. As we develop the site further, we will need local support and vital funds that ensure we can create opportunities for employment, sustainable enterprise activities and volunteering.
The event will run from 1pm until 7pm.
TICKETS MUST BE PRE-BOOKED through the following link where you will be asked to pick an arrival slot, this enables us to manage traffic on site:
