A summary
Forest free play, woodland crafts and games. Vegetarian lunch included. We offer hands on learning experiences in our woodlands or natural environments, of which play and choice are an important part. Lunch is cooked over a fire during the winter (weather permitting). This is a holiday club run in line with the Forest school ethos, offering: • Physical activities such as rope swings and bridges, den building, team games • Creative activities such as woodland crafts, land art and using tools • Experiences, such as exploring the woods, connecting with nature, fire lighting and cooking • Free play, with all the loose parts a woodland has to offer All young people must be dropped off by an adult, who must confirm their emergency contact details and who will be collecting their child with the member of staff at the arrival point. Ensure children come dress suitably for the outdoors. We will be making a simple vegetarian lunch together, however you are welcome to bring a packed lunch if you prefer. Please bring a water bottle/drink and snacks. Please note we have a nut-free policy.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
