Join other siblings (aged 5+) in the forest to make crafts from nature and test your fire lighting skills!
We are excited to be working with Bushy Tail Tribe to enjoy a 2-hour forest school session in the woods. We will be making crafts from natural resources, having a go at fire lighting with flint and steel, before cooking a hot snack over the fire. There will be some time at the end for free play and lunch!
Please arrive at 10.30am, so we can start promptly.
Please note that this is an outside event, so wear layers appropriate for the weather. Please bring a waterproof coat, in case it rains. There is parking on-site.
Further Instructions:
Bushy Tail Tribe is based on 35 acres of privately owned woodland. As you turn off Lyne Lane, there will be a sign for Fangrove Park. Drive down this road, keeping the caravan park on your left. You will reach a sign saying Wesbrook Farm and Bushy Tail Tribe, follow the arrow to the right, through some wooden gates. Follow the road down until you reach a second pair of gates (with a Bushy Tail Tribe sign on the front). Go through these gates and follow the path down to the car park. There will be members of staff on hand to assist with directions to the car park.
Please book one space per sibling. Parents and families are welcome to stay on-site, but there is minimal indoor space.
Packing List:
- Waterproof boots/wellies/trainers (if not due to rain)
