Fun in the Forest - Den Building Special

Fun in the Forest - Den Building Special

A woodland den building session for families with children aged between 3 and 12 years*. Join us for a morning building dens in a beautiful ancient woodland. 

We will start by learning a couple of useful knots before splitting into groups to build dens. You can choose whether to build your den with sticks, tarpaulins or ropes or a mixture of all three! A the end of the session we will gather around a campfire to cook marshmallows. 

All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
*Older siblings are welcome to come and join in too. No charge for siblings under 3 years.

Work as a team to build a den

Cost:

Standard ticket: £10.50 per child
Supporter ticket: £12.50 per child (for those who are happy to pay a little more to subsidise a place for those who can’t afford to pay the standard price)**
Discounted ticket: £6.50 per child (for those who paying the full cost would currently prevent them from attending)

**The idea behind 'pay it forward' systems like this is to do acts of kindness which will have a positive effect on others, and in return the recipients are just asked to pass on the good deed to keep the cycle going.

What to bring:

• Drinks and snacks for your morning (marshmallows will be provided)
• Wellies are the best footwear. Trainers are ok after periods of dry weather.
• Please come dressed in long trousers and long-sleeved tops, to protect yourselves from ticks.
• It’s probably cooler in the woods than where you live, so bring extra warm layers and waterproofs if rain is forecast.

Location:

Hazel Hill Wood, Hazel Hill Wood, Grimstead Road, near Farley, Salisbury, SP5 1AU.
