Hedgerow Animal Making - learn about the eco-systems that live inside hedgerows and create our own from natural materials.

Nature Crowns - celebrate the final session with crowns and wands made from the natural findings.

There are 10 places per workshop and it is first come first serve.
If we are full I will email you with alternative dates and workshops.
This is aimed at any students from 4-16 years (unless stated otherwise) and there may be a wide range of ages attending on the day. We ask that the older students bare with us as we will be working to accommodate the younger students as well so patience will be appreciated! There is plenty of time for independent practice so everyone should feel satisfied.
Yes.
We ask that you stay however we are based in the countryside so please feel free to go for a walk. We can show you the nearest routes.
Messy clothes - we will be using paints, clay, glue, chalks, pastels etc and having lots of fun!
Water bottles and any snacks your child might want within the time.
There is parking on site, this is a working sheep farm so please park sensibly.
If your child prefers outdoor, quiet settings then this is for you! We are a small forest school on a working sheep farm so there are farming smells to walk through and interesting things to look at then you enter the garden and orchard space
The aim is for this to be a relaxing and natural environment so your kids will get dirty and sit on the floor outside. There will be a waterproof mat for working on.
