Nuts about Nature – Kelling Heath Holiday Park
Kelling Heath Holiday Park in North Norfolk will celebrate its wildlife and conservation work this summer with a special family-friendly event weekend titled ‘Nuts About Nature’.
Running from Friday 5 to Sunday 7 June 2026, the celebration will invite guests to enjoy a packed programme of nature-inspired activities, while also marking an exciting milestone for one of the park’s most loved residents – its Red Squirrels.
Across the ‘Nuts About Nature’ weekend, guests can become “Acorn Adventurers” and take part in a range of activities celebrating the natural environment of the Park.
Guests can enjoy a weekend filled with immersive, nature‑inspired activities for all ages. The programme will include hands‑on nature themed crafts and sessions led by expert activity providers, pond dipping, self‑guided trails, and opportunities to meet the Countryside Team. They will also have the chance to learn more about the conservation of Red Squirrels and see the Park’s residents settling into their beautiful new habitat.
Families can also enjoy children’s entertainment, live music in the Village Square, and a variety of food and drink options including pop-up vendors.
The event will coincide with the official unveiling of a brand new Red Squirrel enclosure, built in collaboration with local specialists Thaxters Timber & Forestry.
Designed to provide even more space for the endangered squirrels to climb, explore and thrive, the larger enclosure will support the park’s ongoing conservation work.
Kelling Heath has been home to Red Squirrels for more than three decades. Since establishing its breeding programme in 1999, the park has welcomed nearly 100 red squirrel kittens, helping raise awareness of the native species and supporting wider conservation efforts.
The park’s current resident Red Squirrel pair, now enjoying a well-earned retirement from breeding, had been temporarily relocated while their new home was completed. Now finished, they have returned to a revitalised habitat designed to enrich their natural behaviours and provide guests with opportunities to learn more about this iconic species.
Kelling Heath will be looking to welcome a new breeding pair of red squirrels in the future to continue this important conservation work.
Set within 300 acres of woodland rich in wildlife, Kelling Heath provides the perfect backdrop for a weekend celebrating nature, conservation and community.
Further updates will follow as construction of the new Red Squirrel enclosure continues, with natural foliage and finishing touches still to be added before the squirrel’s return.
To mark the occasion, Kelling Heath is offering a 3-for-2 night stay on touring, camping and motorhome breaks for the Nuts About Nature weekend, using the promotional code NUTSABOUTNATURE26. *T&C’s apply
