Bramblewood Saturdays: Block of 6 fortnightly drop-off sessions for 4-13 year olds for the 2026 Summer term (Badgers)

A block of 6 fortnightly Saturday Forest School sessions, running 10am-2pm for unaccompanied children aged 4-13 years in the heart of Worcester.

This block is for the 'Badgers' community (just a name chosen by the group, which bears no resemblance to anything specific taking place!) and is for the following dates: 

* Saturday 18 April 2026

* Saturday 2nd May 2026

* Saturday 16th May 2026

* Saturday 13th June 2026

* Saturday 27th June 2026

* Saturday 11th July 2026

Relax in the knowledge that your child is having a 'wild break', playing with friends, learning life skills and exploring their natural world, all out in the fresh air. 

Sessions fees: £22 per 4 hour session. Please email for details of our sibling discount. We have some supported places available, made possible by donations from the forest school and local community. While these are limited, please do email us for details - wildandrootedcic@gmail.com.  

At Bramblewood Forest School, children play together in a wild woodland space, creating games and worlds that often reach far beyond, and offer much deeper learning than adult-led activities can offer. Our consent based self-directed approach means that children experience agency and autonomy in their time. Bramblewood adults take real care to tune in to how children are experienceing their time at Bramblewood and to value what is alive and interesting for them.
Bramblewood's high ratio of experienced adults enables us also to offer children invitations to explore new challenges according to the their own pace and curiosity. These can range from practical challenges: sawing and splitting wood, climbing in the trees, building and lighting a fire to cook on, walking along the slackline, making a tree house, whittling a whistle. To conservation skills: creating homes for small animals, planting and tending trees, doing a bird count. To creative endeavours: weaving, making and using natural dyes, creative writing, singing, sculpting with clay, etc.
Altogether at the end of a session, by the hearth, we reflect on our time at Bramblewood and make plans for our next adventures together in a fortnight's time.
