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 4 November to 9 December (6 weeks) 

The 1-week ticket is available for 25 November only. If you would like to attend on a different date, please click below.

Dates: 4, 11, 18, 25 November, 2, 9 December
