 Meeting instructions will be sent on booking. Please park in the Pelican Playground car park and follow the signs to the meeting point just inside the meadow.         


🥾What should we wear?      


 Most of our events are held outdoors, so please 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.

 Weather permitting, we will have a campfire at the end of the session.  You are welcome to bring something to toast. Ideas include crumpets, little malt loaves, toasting tea cakes, sweet waffles, brioche, fruit, e.g., pineapple/mango.  Anything you can warm through on a stick, really – we provide toasting forks.  No uncooked meat or nuts, please. Marshmallows and popcorn are not recommended for children under the age of 5.
