About the event

Step into the wild and enjoy a hands-on family adventure in the woods! Work together to build your own shelter using natural materials, create colourful paints from nature’s palette, and learn the art of fire lighting before toasting a tasty treat over the campfire (weather permitting!).

This is the perfect chance for families to explore, create, and connect with nature.

Advance booking is essential, and all children must be accompanied by an adult.

FAQs

📍Where do we meet?

This event takes place near the Cottage Car Park for Thameside Nature Discovery Park. This is at the entrance of the site before you go through the gate.

🥾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.

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.
