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 16 September to 21 October (6 weeks) 

The 1-week ticket is available for 23 September only. If you would like to attend on a different date, please click on your chosen date below.

Dates: 16, 23, 30 September, 7, 14, 21 October
