About this Event

Come and join us in our serene woodland at Hanningfield, where you can swing in a hammock, use the tools we provide to make woodland creations, and learn how to light a fire to cook a tasty snack - nothing beats campfire cooking! (weather permitting).


This event is suitable for children aged 5+.

FAQS

🥾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.

🚗Is there parking? 


Yes. We have a large free car park.


🚇Can we get to you on public transport? 


We are accessible by bus, with bus stops outside the centre and 10 minutes away. We are not accessible by train.


🚻Are there toilets? 


Toilets are located inside the visitor centre. 


☕Is there a Cafe or shop? 


The visitor centre has a shop and café serving hot and cold drinks, snacks, ice cream, and light lunches. 


🐕‍🦺Can we bring a dog? 


Assistance dogs are welcome at our events. 


♿Is it wheelchair accessible? 


Our reserve pathways are flat and easy to push wheelchairs, but our activities mound can be slippery, which could make it difficult to push wheelchairs up.
