Our home education sessions will help your child develop a range of practical and social skills, whilst learning about wildlife.
About this Event

In relaxed outdoor settings, we run a number of home education groups where children can be themselves and work together to develop social skills and to foster a deep understanding of wildlife and a love of the natural world.  Activities may include den building, woodland crafts, using tools, and fire lighting. 


The sessions run weekly during term time— every Wednesday from 16 September to 21 October (6 weeks) 


Upon booking, you will have the option to purchase a 6 -week block ticket for the whole term, or a 1-week ticket. 


The 1-week ticket is available for 16 September only. If you would like to attend on a different date, please click on your chosen date below.


Dates: 16, 23, 30 September, 7, 14, 21 October
