Between 11am and 1pm on October 18, youngsters can learn how to make an origami pot out of recycled paper and plant a Chestnut seed.
A spooky Halloween Trail is on offer from October 24 to November 1.
The trail guides can be bought from the ranger station for £1 between 10am and 3pm.
Councillor Andy Smith, Lichfield District Councils Cabinet member for parks, said: “There are some great activities running this month at Beacon Park, which are not only fun but educational.
“Taking part in a workshop or going on a trail is a good way to entertain children, and they can also enjoy an autumnal walk in the park and use up some energy in the play area.”
