Calling all children with a sense of adventure and a curiosity about the natural world.
Do you have a child who loves discovering wildlife? Join our brilliant volunteer reptile surveyor, Lynne Sewell, for a small-group Family Reptile Adventure, where you’ll explore the fascinating world of Britain’s native reptiles.
Lynne knows all the best places to look and will lead a gentle walk around Heal Somerset, sharing her knowledge of the reptiles that call the site home. Along the way, you’ll learn how to spot and identify different species, discover the habitats they depend on and keep an eye out for plenty of other summer wildlife too.
The walk also takes in our thriving wetlands, where you’ll be able to see the remarkable changes our resident beavers have been making to the landscape and you may even meet our friendly, wild-living tamworth pigs, Ticket and Tailor.
Lizards and other species you might see: At Heal, we have recorded common lizard, slow worm, grass snake, common toad and all three native newt species: smooth newt, palmate newt and great crested newt. You can also expect to see dragonflies, butterflies, birds and a host of other summer wildlife.
About your guide, Lynne
Lynne has been interested in reptiles and amphibians for as long as she can remember. As a child, she would lift rocks or discarded sheets of corrugated iron in the hope of finding reptiles sheltering beneath them. Lynne says “on one memorable occasion, I even jumped into a lake to catch a grass snake which I then took home to my long-suffering parents! That fascination has stayed with me throughout my life, and I still feel a thrill whenever I lift something that might be hiding a reptile or amphibian underneath. I feel lucky to be able to regularly survey for reptiles at Heal”.

Illyria: as You Like It
2026-08-23 18:00 - 20:00 | Merlin Theatre, Bath Road, Frome, BA11 2HG
In this play, Shakespeare explores Love in all its guises. Four pairs of soulmates meet in the mysterious Forest of Arden. One pair leaps straight into bed. Another pair is instantaneously dumbstruck by each other’s beauty and pledges their undying troth. The third pair torment each other: he showers chaste love upon her, which she haughtily rejects – yet secretly she enjoys the flattery. The fourth pair go further still, playfully blurring their roles and identities to such an extent that flirting becomes more pain than pleasure, and Love itself is pushed to the limit of its endurance – and beyond.
Throughout the summer, Shakespeare’s iconic comedy will be performed where its action is set – in the great outdoors, by a 5-strong cast of classically trained professional actors. Multi-award-winning Illyria has an unmatched reputation for excellence, forged over three decades, that dominates the outdoor touring theatre sector. Join them this summer for a memorable night of laughter and romance under the stars.
This performance will be outdoors at the E.C.O.S. Amphitheatre. Please bring blankets, cushions, and chairs. We welcome picnics, but please buy drinks from our bar. In the event of bad weather, this event will move inside.
Running time: 140 minutes plus interval
Recommended: All ages
Tickets: £18 | Child: £10 (Under 10) | Concessions: £14
Registered carers go free

5 Springs Pilgrimage
2026-08-23 10:00 - 15:00 | Bratton, United Kingdom
Nestled in the valley beneath Bratton Camp, once home to the Iron Age Dubonni tribe, a number of springs issue forth from the chalk and greensand. What significance might these springs have held to the Celtic tribes?
Drawing on archaeological research, this will be an exploration of the sacred landscape. We will walk in the footsteps of those Celtic ancestors, and echoing their veneration of Springs and Rivers – a recognition of the sacred power of water, we’ll perform a short blessing at each Spring.
What is the difference between a Walk and a Pilgrimage? Primarily, it is about intention: walking the old tracks becomes a spiritual act when walked with intention – by doing so we help to preserve and strengthen those ancient songlines…….the Earth re-awakens to our heartfelt care, and we are healed in return.
Whilst led by an experienced Druid Ceremonialist, this is an inclusive walk, welcoming of all faiths and none. If you wish to step aside and quietly observe the Blessings rather than take part, please feel free to do so…
We’ll also visit the infamous Bloodstone, where it’s reputed Kind Alfred’s army beheaded the Danes at the Battle of Ethandun. If time, there is the option to visit Edington Priory.
