Support your wellbeing with some time spent in nature with good company, campfire cooking, a cuppa and a chat plus some nature-based activities and crafts. These days are an ideal follow-on to our Mental Health courses, an introduction to our wider range of sessions or simply a great way to connect outdoors.

Each week will start with a leisurely walk from 10-11 to notice nature around the site, possibly have a little forage and enjoy the seasonal changes through the year. Great for getting active and all the benefits that brings! If you want to miss this part out, just join us at 11 instead.

From 11am-2pm we will be at our base site, with shelter, some seating, a fire and refreshments. There will be a craft or other activity, possibly some hammock time and usually a bit of light lunch cooked on the campfire. We offer a listening ear and can also sign post to other community based services and organisations where that would be helpful.

If you have a portable craft or project that you don't seem to have time to finish, feel free to bring it with you and work on it while we chat.

Stay for a cuppa or stay for the day, take some time to just be or join in with what we are doing, the choice is yours. However you take your nature time, you will be welcome!

Please bring your own cup and if you want to sit in comfort, your own camping chair (we have a few spares).

We will be running most Fridays during term-time, although as we move from winter to spring we may finish slightly early depending on the weather.

These sessions are supported by funding from the National Lottery and are offered free of charge. Please consider making a small donation if you can afford to make a contribution to our costs as this will help us to continue to support wellbeing in green spaces.

We are looking forward to meeting you!
