Need to know!
Clothing - Please dress according to the weather. Bring extra layers in a bag, including long sleeved tops and bottoms. Waterproofs if it is raining. No sandals/open toe shoes as these can be difficult for children to walk in on uneven terrain. If hot, ensure your child applies sun cream on before session, and pack some for the day and they wear a hat. What else will my child need to bring? We will have drinking water and food, but feel free to pack a water bottle and snacks. Any essential medication such as inhalers, please also pack. There are on site facilities: toilet on site, fresh drinking water, and a roundhouse to warm up on cold days. Meals: All meals will take in account dietary, cultural and religious requirements.

My experience is an educational activity and the 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
