A SUMMARY
***FULLY BOOKED*** PLEASE DO REGISTER YOUR INTEREST THOUGH - I KEEP A WAITING LIST, MAY CREATE AN EXTRA DATE, AND CAN GIVE YOU ADVANCED WARNING FOR 2024 This is a single event that runs over one whole weekend, from 5pm Friday 9 June to 4pm Sunday 11 June 2023.

Get messy. Play games. All of it, with your dad (or uncle, godfather etc). This weekend packs in everything dads and sons really want to do with each other, but often don't get the chance or the excuse. In a beautiful piece of woodland and in a lively village atmosphere, we blend bushcraft, survival and the art of mucking around into a thread of activities that are very achievable and a lot of fun. As a big manly tribe, we shall cook and eat together, make friends, learn skills, tell fireside stories and have rip-roaring adven...
Some testimonials
Plenty of feedback from years of Feral Fathers weekends... take your pick! My daughter and I had a magical time creating lifetime memories and bonding on a level I am not sure it is really possible to do in our everyday lives. It feels like we were away for a week, it was quite strange re-entering civilisation. You strike a wonderful balance between creating a hugely exciting and mind broadening experience for the children (and Dads) whilst also giving them an education on some genuine life skills. Never again will I tell Ellie to be careful with a sharp knife in the kitchen! David, 2022 There are now furious debates in my house between my children as to who gets to go next year! Deri, 2022 My son asked me on the first evening when we were going to bed - "Can we do this again next year?" - we had only been there 4 hours. And on the Sunday evening he was wolf howling in his sleep. It was one of the best times he's ever had, and talks about it often, many months later - highly recomme...

Cancellation
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.
• No refunds are given except in the case of a cancellation by the Mentor.
• This tends to be a very popular event which books up early. Other inquirers are then kept on a wait list. However, cancellations cause problems, because people generally book their summer activities early, and if participants drop out, the place cannot usually not be filled. Therefore, no refunds can be offered for cancellations after January 31st, unless the place is successfully filled, in which case there will be a refund of the price minus £50. If a participant has to cancel and is not able to get a refund, then I will offer a 25% discount for a return booking the next year.
