Tribe - A Yuletide Gathering!

Come and join our Wild Tribe for some Festive Frolics at Heartwood! We're really looking forward to offering you a fun day out for all the family in the woods this December - just look at our photos to get a flavour of our past adventures!

As always there will be fun challenges, surprises, crafts, roaring camp fires, delicious cake and hot chocolate, the chance to cook something tasty on the fire and of course lots of festive fun to be had!

All children must be accompanied by an adult.

As a community contribution, we will be offering tickets to this event on a cost only basis, so just £6.50 per head, which covers the per person cost of hiring Frylands Wood and something towards craft materials and refreshments. Under 2's go free as always. All our amazing staff team will be volunteering their services for free to make this event go ahead.

With that in mind, if you feel financially able, we offer you the opportunity to make a donation to Go Wild, (absolutely no obligation) which will help us pay for our other community based offers and will go towards things like staff uniform and the equipment which keeps us being able to do Wild Things! You can do this by making a payment of your choice to:

Sort Code 089299.

Please add a reference of 'Yule Donation' if you can!

Do come dressed up festively if you'd like to! Bring a picnic and if you'd like to you can bring something simple to cook on the fire like a tin of hotdogs or beans. We have a toasting rack which you can toast cheese sandwiches, bread, cinnamon buns or anything else 'toastable'!

L ooking forward to seeing you there!

If you came last year, you'll know about our chilled out, go with the flow approach! There will be activities on offer throughout the day, but no set schedule. We'll let the day unfold as it will, and that includes your arrival time!

If you are not staff, please don't arrive before 11am as we will not be ready!! However, if you manage to arrive at 11am, you will get to experience everything on offer, but we leave it up to you when you arrive and when you leave. We will be packing up at 3pm and always, we heartily welcome help to clear up.

When you arrive, park up, and head for the big metal gate opposite the entrance to the car park which leads into the woods and for your first challenge, you can follow the Heartwood signs to find us! (You can find Heartwood at the top of the wood - if you're not up for the challenge, you can ask for directions at reception - they can provide you with a map of the site.)

Just a little reminder about what to bring / expect.

Clothing for cold and wet weather - hoping as always for a dry, sunny day, but you never know!

A picnic! You are welcome to bring something small to share with other families, but there is no obligation to do so at all, as everyone will have their own packed lunches and there will be a communal soup and marshmallows provided. If you want to, you can also bring a tin of beans, hotdogs or similar - we don't have saucepans for everyone to use, so please stick to something tinned that we can put in the embers of the fire (make sure it has a ring-pull or bring a tin opener!) or you can bring a cheese sandwich, crumpet / cinnamon bun or similar that we can put in our little toasting rack and you can toast over the fire!

A mug, and a spoon for our homemade camp fire soup/hot drinks. Feel free to bring your own bread / rolls / crackers to go with it.

A camping chair is useful if you have one. There is some log seating. Alternatively you could bring a picnic blanket but make sure it has a waterproof back, as the ground will be damp.

Come dressed festively or not - its your choice but we love to see people's efforts - in particular hats!

Let us know if you have any dietary requirements or allergies on arrival. We will be providing both vegan and milk based hot chocolate, and veggie / halal marshmallows. There will also be some cake to share!

We look forward to Going Wild with you!
