This month, on 11 August, you can have a god at building a den using branches, leaves and other natural bits and bobs. Then, once you’ve made one big enough for you, try making a minibeast den for all the bugs and insects at Wicken to use.

There’s even a chance to try out wild camping in Wicken’s special wooden shelters for an unforgettable night under the stars. 50-minute boat rides along the peaceful, reed-lined waterways cost £5.50 (adults), £3.25 (children) and operate daily. The nature reserve is open dawn to dusk.
