Summer Family Forest School
Fri 7 August 2026
10:30am - 12:00pm
Private Woodland near Kirkby Malzeard
Special Friday sessions during the summer holidays open to the whole family, with activities suited to children aged 0 – 9.
Join us in the woods for two special Summer Holiday Fridays to play, create, and connect under the canopy.
Whether your children want to build massive dens, test their skills with tools, or simply slow down and connect with nature, our family days are all about freedom, community, and child-led adventure.
What to expect:
🌿Child-Led Exploration: Our private woodland is a blank canvas. From cooking up a storm in the mud kitchen and woodland crafting to discovering wildlife, children are free to lead their own play.
🪵 Open-Ended Play & Bigger Projects: We provide tools and natural resources that spark imagination across the ages—whether that means intricate miniature world-building or large-scale den construction.
🔥 Campfire & Community: Our central campfire offers a space for warmth, reflection, and a chance for grown-ups to unwind and connect over a hot drink while the kids play.
The Details:
📅 When: 10.30am – 12, Friday 7th August
👥 Who: Open to the whole family, with activites suitable for children 0 – 9 years old. Sibling discounts are available, and babies in slings go free.
📍 Where: A beautiful private woodland near Kirkby Malzeard. (Exact location and arrival instructions will be sent upon booking).
🎒 Kit: Please dress for the weather! We recommend waterproofs, long trousers, and sturdy footwear for all ages.
Come and enjoy the summer magic of the woods. Let’s get muddy, stay curious, and nurture our connection to the wild.
