About this Event
We meet once a month on a Friday from 11am-2pm in a forest garden in Stanmer Park.
The first session is £40 and then you buy a block of three tickets that can be used in 4 months.
Over the seasons, you’ll explore hands-on bushcraft skills that are simple, satisfying, and rooted in ancient tradition: such as fire building and green woodworking. Join a supportive group environment, decompress, relax and connect back to nature and yourself.
This is for you if...
You're seeking something real, time outdoors, learning practical skills and working with your hands.
You're feeling overwhelmed and would welcome a few hours to slow down, switch off and reconnect with nature.
You're curious about old skills and want to learn things that are useful, satisfying and increasingly forgotten.
You enjoy learning by doing - getting stuck in, making things and having a go without needing to be an expert.
You're looking for real connection in a down-to-earth, welcoming group.
No prior experience needed.
