We combine a unique opportunity for children, young people and the young at heart to go wild, explore the great outdoors, have fun, enhance old skills and learn new ones. Activities galore, no choosing, they are all on offer unless age dependent.

We like to party whatever the weather, but high winds do stop us, we will always offer you an alternative date. There’s plenty of shelter, so don’t worry about rain, not much stops forest school fun! Don’t forget to bring your wellies, wear old clothes & waterproofs and expect to get muddy!
