Children
"Absolutely fantastic place! My grandchildren spend many school holidays here being outdoors, getting muddy, making friends. They are so looking forward to next school holidays. Happy days for them with wonderful memories."
Grandparent of Holiday Club Attendees
Whatever the event, kids love running wild in our forest, learning new skills and crafts, and playing on our zipline, big rope swing and cargo net climb.
Parties
Whether Birthday, Hen do, anniversary, or any other celebration, what better way to celebrate than with a forest adventure with your friends. Make a wand or a staff, learn how to build a fire, create your own pewter cast model*, have campfire or pizza oven** cooked food, build a den...we can design your event to suit your needs, making it a day to remember and a fun day in the woods. Our woodland parties are very flexible and built around the individual's requirements, making sure you get the most from your special day.

Holiday Club
​
Come and join us for some school holiday fun! Give your children the very best reason to turn off their screens. They will come home muddy and exhausted and with exciting tales to tell of adventures in the woods. A great opportunity to make new friends, learn new skills and instil a sense of adventure many of us remember from our own childhood.
​
What's in store:
Outdoor Adventures: Venture through our woodlands, enjoying full access to our facilities, including the Roundhouse, a woodworking area sheltered by parachutes, and a cosy, covered campfire.
New in 2024: Introducing our amazing new activity area for under 8s, featuring a workbench, mud kitchen, and wizard's potion lab, coat rack and wellies stand, all under a spacious parachute canopy. Guaranteed fun, no matter the weather!
Active Fun: Glide down the zip-line, master the cargo net, and swing from our assortment of tree swings.
Creativity: Choose from a variety of seasonal crafts and bushcraft activities, including green woodworking. See Activities page for our full list.

All supported by experienced teaching staff - Ofsted Registered 2025
​
It's worth keeping an eye on the weather and dress in comfy clothes you don't mind getting wet or muddy. We have a lovely little stream that is great fun to splash in, so a pair of wellies and a change of clothes are always a good idea!
