Events and activities

Come and enjoy an activity on Dartmoor with the Rangers as part of the Ranger Ralph Club!

The Ranger Ralph Club is open to all children between the ages of 5-12 years and is ideal for the young nature enthusiast in your family.

Ranger Ralph meets on a regular basis and each activity is safely led by a Dartmoor National Park Ranger. The club runs up to twelve outdoor events per year. These are all free to attend once you are a member.

If you live locally, or are coming to Dartmoor when an event is on, why not book and join in. Remember to bring your membership card!

Booking is essential for these activities as numbers are limited. These events are for Ranger Ralph Club members only.

Saturday 12 September – 10.00-11.30am
Not quite a ‘Night at the Museum’ – but a great day of discovery at the Museum of Dartmoor Life
The museum is the perfect place to start your Dartmoor exploration. Join us as part of the Ranger Ralph club to find out about prehistoric Dartmoor and how it was to live and work on Dartmoor.

*Step inside the full-scale round house reconstruction with granite walls and a thatched roof.
*See a fully equipped 19th-century Victorian kitchen and washhouse.
*Experience the Forge, a local blacksmith’s shop, faithfully rebuilt stone-by-stone inside the museum.

Explore real objects and uncover local stories bringing Dartmoor’s past to life. Try the 15 things trail, design a postcard to take home, have fun dressing up, build a stone circle plus lots more.
