A weekly outdoor school and playgroup which runs sessions for families in the woodland play area emphasising a love of nature and permaculture. Come play in the mud kitchen, learn seasonal crafts, sing songs, or toast marshmallows over the fire. There are several different sessions available throughout the week and family mornings on the weekends. Be sure also to check out their Woodland Holiday Club for half terms and holidays.

The woodland camp has a large parachute shelter and fire pit, where we can be protected from the elements. Our session will continue unless we decide it is unsafe with weather warnings for strong winds as woodlands can be hazardous with falling branches and trees. Parents will be informed as soon as possible if weather conditions are unsafe for the session.

Please dress appropriately for all weather conditions. It is essential that children are warm and comfortable for them to make the most of the experience. Don’t wear anything you don’t mind getting dirty!
