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. 

The sessions run weekly during term time— every Wednesday from 14 January to 11 February (5 weeks).

The 1-week ticket is available for 11 February 2026 only. If you would like to attend another week, no problem. Please click on the day you would like to attend below.

Dates: 21, 28 January, 4, 11 February
