Join us for Forest School for the home education community. Discover ways to have fun outdoors and meet new friends. Suitable for ages 4-11.

About the event

Our 2 hour sessions are jam-packed with Forest School based activities and offer a wonderful opportunity for families to have fun together whilst exploring our beautiful reserve and getting stuck into a variety of activities.

Children are encouraged to lead their own learning, doing as much for themselves as possible with help from accompanying adults. Great for problem-solving, communication, creativity and physical development. Growing up with fun experiences in wild spaces can help inspire a love of nature that lasts a lifetime.

All children must be accompanied by an adult. Maximum of 4 children per adult. Maximum of 2 adults per child.

Activities are suitable for ages 4-11 but younger siblings up to age 2/3 are welcome to come and join the fun.
