Recreational Retreat at Foxburrow this Season
Get ready for an exciting day filled with nature-inspired activities at the upcoming family event at Foxburrow! This event, suitable for all participants, promises a memorable experience with activities such as hammock relaxation, whittling, invertebrate hunting, woodland crafts, swings, bridge building, tool use, and fire lighting.
Before booking, it's essential to review the family and children's events terms and conditions available at [Foxburrow.engagement@our website](mailto:Foxburrow.engagement@ourwebsite). This will ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
Booking can be done via email at the aforementioned address. An additional booking information is required for the session, so please make sure to have all necessary details ready.
Participants should come prepared for an outdoor day. Pack a packed lunch, snacks, and a water bottle, as lunch is not provided for this session. Refills will be available, though. Due to the event being held entirely outside, it's advisable to dress appropriately for the weather. This means hats, scarves, suncream, waterproofs as necessary, and closed-toed shoes or trainers. Long trousers are recommended to prevent stings and bites from midges in the woods.
For those with limited mobility, it's important to contact the organiser in advance. Wheelchair access is available at the event site.
Please note that mobile phones are not allowed at the event. However, participants with assistance dogs are welcome. All young people must be dropped off by an adult who confirms their emergency contact details with the staff member at the arrival point.
In case of high winds, sessions may be based in and around the yard for safety. The event follows the Forest School ethos of child-led learning, encouraging exploration and discovery in a safe and stimulating outdoor environment.
While specific dates for future holiday club sessions and family events at Foxburrow have not been announced, keep an eye on the website for updates.
