We’re excited to invite families to a free, fun-filled Geopark Discovery Day this May half-term at Indigos Play and Ecology Centre in Torquay!

Taking place on Wednesday 28 May 2025, from 11.00am – 3.00pm, this special event is a chance for children and families to explore the wonders of Torbay’s UNESCO Global Geopark – one of the most fascinating and unique landscapes on Earth.

Expect a day of hands-on activities, outdoor fun, and fascinating facts about our local rocks, fossils, and ancient landforms. It’s the perfect opportunity to learn through play and enjoy the outdoors together.
