Wild foods

This course is based around the sourcing, preparing and the cooking in many ways of delicious wild foods.  This will mean the skinning, plucking and dressing of wild game and fish but does not involve the killing of any of the species of mammal or fish used. (not all the food is wild food, food sourced from commercial suppliers will be organic and seasonal and sourced from local growers).

Prices    2 days      £125.00 per person

School & Youth Groups

We run a number of courses for school and youth groups including a one day (6 hours) and 24 hour and 48 hour residential courses.  

These stimulating events cover a number of hands-on Bushcraft and Wilderness skills that build confidence, teach life skills and nature awareness activities that stimulate the imagination and provide knowledge of the countryside.

We believe every young person should experience the world beyond the classroom as part of their learning and personal development.  These are often the most memorable learning experiences, helping make sense of the world around us by making links between feelings and learning.  They stay with us into adulthood and can affect our behaviour, lifestyle and work and can influence our values and decisions we make.

Prices                        £250.00          (1 day)

  £350.00          (24 hours)

  £600.00          (48 hours)

Learning outside the classroom

We have run a number of successful sessions where we come to you and erect one of our tipis on the school field which will comfortably seat 30 primary students and 2-3 staff.  These sessions have been used as learning enrichment tools for a number of subjects covering a wide area of the curriculum.

Private Functions

Our wide range of activities can be selected in any combination to make your party a different and thoroughly enjoyable event and all to fit in and around any existing plans you may have.  We can arrange your event at one of our sites or on your own land if you have a suitable location.

Our outdoor activities are a big hit with both young and old alike.  Our involvement can be as simple as providing the activities throughout the day or evening to organising the whole event with us providing all the food, beverages and even the celebration cake (due to health and safety and insurance reasons we are not able to provide certain activities when alcohol could have been or has been consumed.  Sorry).

We would be delighted to provide a no obligation quotation for your special event please CONTACT us for further information or an informal chat about your ideas for that special day with a difference.

Team building

Our bushcraft and wilderness skills experiences allow you to remove yourself and your team from the comfort zone of the daily grind and provide a new challenge that will encourage initiative, teamwork and delegation leaving everyone with a feeling of achievement and skills that will transfer to their normal working environment.

Our 2 day experiences provide a rewarding, exciting, refreshing and different type of challenge.  Set in almost 800 acres of mixed ancient woodland allows you to be as far away from the office as possible, and allows you to pit yourself against the challenges that "Mother Nature" can throw at you.  Please contact us for more details.
