About the event

Whether you’re a family of den-building experts or newbies to den building, come join us at Bedfords Park to learn different ways to make a den, be it with sticks, branches, and leaves, or with ropes and tarp. All are welcome to either some shelter building skills or show off the skills you already have!

FAQs

🎫 Who needs a ticket?

📍Where do we meet?

Meet outside the Nature Discovery Centre, which is a short walk from the car park and main entrances. 

🥾What should we wear?

Most of our events are held outdoors, so please 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. 

🔥What should we bring? Is food provided?

Weather permitting, we will have a campfire at the end of the session.  We plan on toasting apples served with sugar. 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.
