How To Get There

Directions

The Wolseley Centre is easy to find on the A51 near Rugeley. Look for the brown tourist signs. From Stafford: follow the A513 east towards Rugeley for 6 miles until you reach Wolseley Bridge. At the double roundabout cross the first, and turn left at the second into the Wolseley Garden Centre entrance. The driveway entrance to The Wolseley Centre is immediately on the right next to the small building

Tips

We love listing Wolseley and always have an enjoyable time! We've visited in summer and winter and it's still a lovely place with different wildlife to look out for!
The kids love the welly bridge and would happily spend ages there (wellies and splash suit are a must!), playing poo sticks is another favourite!
All nice and flat so great for pushchairs, wheelchairs and people with poor mobility.
Toilets are available and there's a small shop which sells snacks and drinks - although you could always bring your own picnic.
We've taken an activity bag before with wildlife books, paper and crayons and created tree rubbings and tried to identify plants, birds and bugs - I believe there's even a terrapin in the area by the board walk.
Playing in the trees, climbing trees and shelter building are fun for older kids!

Brilliant day family enjoyed every minute of it even splashing in the river !!

Fantastic fun family day really enjoyed it !!!

Children will love the splashy bridge, don't forget your wellies!

My daughters favourite place to go! Best place to feed ducks (buy food from gift shop 50p), lovely walks and wildlife/sensory garden.
