Holiday Workshops
Immersive woodland workshops for children and families, running throughout the school holidays to connect through nature and play.
Nature-based fun for families; when school’s out, the adventure begins.
During the school holidays, these immersive woodland workshops invite children and families to spend meaningful time together in nature. Each session offers a gentle mix of forest play, creative exploration, and cooking over the fire, with space to slow down, connect, and share food outdoors. Led by experienced Forest School practitioners and guest specialists, the workshops are designed to nurture curiosity, confidence, and togetherness, creating memorable holiday experiences rooted in nature, play, and seasonal food.

Easter Family Forest Feast
Join us beneath the trees for a magical Forest Feast, where woodland adventure and fireside cooking happen together in a relaxed, family-friendly morning outdoors.
As our chef guides families in preparing and cooking a seasonal lamb dish over the fire, our Forest School leader will be running seasonal, child-led woodland activities alongside the cooking. Children and adults can move freely between exploring the woodland, joining in with the cooking, and gathering around the fire as the feast slowly comes to life.
Once everything is ready, we’ll come together to share a delicious meal that has been cooked over the fire — all savoured outdoors amongst the trees.
Expect crackling flames, woodland play, delicious smells drifting through the air, muddy boots, and the simple joy of cooking and eating together in nature.
10:30am – 12:30pm
Ticket includes: up to 2 adults + 2 children (ages 2–11)
Additional children £8.50 each

Family Forest Feast
After our last Forest Feast sold out and was hugely popular, we’re excited to be bringing this favourite session back for February half-term.
Join us for a morning of woodland play, fire cooking, and sharing food together.
This special half-term workshop is led by our Forest School leader alongside Little Forest School’s resident chef, combining the magic of Forest School with the joy of cooking and eating outdoors. The woods will be full of playful exploration, creative activities, and time gathered around the fire.
Together, we’ll prepare and enjoy delicious food cooked over the fire, inspired by the season. Everyone has a part to play, from chopping and stirring to kneading and tasting. The fire becomes our kitchen, and the forest our dining room.
Our Forest School leader and resident chef love bringing people together through nature, play, and food, sharing simple seasonal ideas and the pleasure of creating and eating together in the woods.
What to expect:
• Creative Forest School activities for all ages
• Cooking alongside Little Forest School’s resident chef over the fire
• A shared outdoor feast
• Time and space to connect with nature, food, and each other
Spaces are limited — early booking recommended following our last sell-out session.
