About
The first Saturday of the month we’ll be playing in the woods come rain or shine. Come and join us for a mix of bushcraft, arts and crafts, music and campfire cooking as well as learning about the forest and the creatures we share it with. • In our child led sessions, play is our priority. Children learn to build their skills (and the odd tree house), take calculated risks and look after the natural world whilst building friendships and having fun! • We recommend water proof clothing and wellies all year round to keep the bugs and dirt out! For those who like to get really messy, a change of clothes for the way home might be needed. • Not having the right gear should never be a barrier to coming along, so please let us know if you want to borrow some spares. • Please bring a packed lunch and a drink, its thirsty work in the woods! • This is an inclusive group and we actively try to overcome barriers to children accessing the group.
More Info
Please book a parent and child ticket for under 5’s or if you would like to stay to support your child
