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. 


Events run in blocks and take place weekly, starting every Monday from 12 January to 9 February (5 weeks).


The 1-week ticket is valid for 12 January only. If you would like to attend on another week, no problem, just click on the dates below.


Dates: 25 February, 4, 11, 18, 25 March.
