About this Event
Whether you’re a family of den-building experts, a group of adults wanting to build the biggest shelter, or newbies to den building, come join us in Belfairs woodland to learn different ways to make a den, or show off the skills you already have!
Please kindly note that this is a family-friendly event and all attendees, including both adults and children, will require a ticket to attend. Advance booking is essential, and children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Please allow time for parking, as we are unable to wait for late arrivals.

FAQs

📍Where do we meet?
Meet outside the Nature Discovery Centre. Please allow time for parking. If you arrive later, further meeting point instructions will be sent before the event.
🥾What should we wear?
Most of our events are fully outdoors, and you need to come dressed for the weather. We recommend layers (top and bottom), which can get mucky. Wellies (with thick socks) and waterproofs are a good shout if you have them.

We are located in Leigh-on-Sea, just off the A127 in Southend-on-Sea. We are also close to Rochford, Hadleigh, and Rayleigh.
🚗Is there parking?
Yes, we have two free car parks. The main car park is located within the main entrance but has limited spaces and is a short walk to the Nature Discovery Centre. The second car park is located behind The Inn at Belfairs pub on Eastwood Road North. The Nature Discovery Centre is approximately a 15-minute walk away from the second car park, straight through the woodland. Please allow enough time for parking when arriving for your event.
🚻Are there toilets?
Yes. Our Belfairs Nature Discovery Centre has toilets (including an accessible toilet and baby changing facilities)
☕Is there a café?
There is a café serving hot and cold drinks, snacks, ice cream, and light lunches.
