What to bring

As sessions take place outdoors in all weathers, so you should wear weather-appropriate clothing. This could include a waterproof coat and trousers, wellies or sturdy shoes, and spare clothes just in case.

Feel free to bring a picnic  or you can have lunch with us at the forest school site.

We do have an indoor space, so don't let the weather put you off!
