About the event

In relaxed outdoor settings, we run a number of home education groups, where children can be themselves and work together to develop social skills, and to foster a deep understanding of wildlife and a love of the natural world.  Activities may include den building, woodland crafts, using tools, and fire lighting. This group runs in blocks, and sessions occur every Monday from 12 January to 9 February (5 weeks).

The 1-week ticket is just for 19 January. If you’d like to visit on a different week, no problem — just click on the date you would like to visit below

Dates: 12, 19, 26 January, 2, 9 February.

This event is suitable for children aged 4-11. Please dress appropriately for the weather, as we will be outdoors for the whole session. Children must always be accompanied by an adult.
