Monday 28th July, 10 am – 12 noon

A nature play session in the woods for families with children aged between 2 and 11 years. Come and explore a beautiful ancient woodland and take part in fun and creative hands-on activities, safely managed by a Forest School Leader.

Children can dip in and out of whatever activities they choose to do.

Activities on offer will include:

  • Scavenger hunt
  • Rope swing and rope challenges
  • Eco craft activities
  • Mud kitchen
  • Bug hunting
  • Toasting bread and marshmallows on a campfire

All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Cost:

  • Standard ticket: £8 per child
  • Supporter ticket: £10 per child (for those who are happy to pay a little more to subsidise a place for those who can’t afford to pay the standard price)*
  • Discounted ticket: £6 per child (for those who paying the full cost would currently prevent them from attending)

*The idea behind ‘pay it forward’ systems like this is to do acts of kindness which will have a positive effect on others, and in return the recipients are just asked to pass on the good deed to keep the cycle going.

What to bring:

  • Drinks and snacks for your morning (we’ll provide bread and marshmallows to cook on the campfire).
  • You’re welcome to stay on in the woods after the session for a picnic lunch if you wish.
  • Wellies are the best footwear. Trainers are ok after periods of dry weather.
  • Please come dressed in long trousers and long-sleeved tops, to protect yourselves from ticks.
  • It’s probably cooler in the woods than where you live, so bring extra warm layers and waterproofs if rain is forecast.

Location:

Hazel Hill Wood, Hazel Hill Wood, Grimstead Road, near Farley, Salisbury, SP5 1AU.
