Woodland adventures for home educating families.
Join us for a fun-filled time at Shaw Wood!
The sessions finish at 12:30pm, but you are free to leave earlier if you need to.
Please note, there is no toilet in this woodland - wild wee behind a tree is the natural facilities on offer!
There will be different things happening at each session, dependant upon the weather, season, and the interests of the group.
Please dress for the weather, with several layers and waterproofs. In autumn and winter it can get very chilly in the woods and you will have a far better experience if you are warm and dry. Sturdy footwear is essential for the uneven and often muddy woodland paths.
In summer it can still be cool under the dappled shade of the trees and we suggest long sleeves and trousers whatever the weather to help avoid stings and bites.
Please bring your own packed lunch.
A reminder that adults are responsible for the safety of their children throughout these sessions.
We will be there to meet you at the woodland clearing at 10am.
Places must be booked in advance - see ticket link.
Directions and parking information:
The entrance to the woodland can be found on the B6013 at Ambergate between Woodside Grove Camping and Caravans and Holly Bank House. Look out for the purple 'Shaw Woods' sign. A great way to navigate here is by using the what3words app with eggplants.scrum.slugs
There is a metal 5 bar gate which will be unlocked and opened from 30 minutes before the session starts.
