About the event

One of our most popular events. A marvellous day exploring in nature - look for mini beasts, get making in the mud kitchen, build dens, climb trees, be creative with our craft, and enjoy a campfire (weather permitting)! 

This event is suitable for children aged 3+ years, and advanced booking is essential. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Please come dressed for the weather, as we will be outside for the whole session.

📍Where do we meet?

🥾What should we wear?                                                                                         

Most of our events are fully outdoors, and you need to come dressed for the weather.  We recommend layers (top and bottom), which can get mucky.  Wellies (with thick socks) and waterproofs are a good shout if you have them.

Weather permitting, we will have a campfire at the end of the session.  You are welcome to bring something to toast. Ideas include:  crumpets, little malt loaves, toasting tea cakes, sweet waffles, brioche, fruit, e.g., pineapple/mango.  Anything you can warm through on a stick, really – we provide toasting forks.  No uncooked meat or nuts, please. Marshmallows and popcorn are not recommended for children under the age of 5.
