Our Mini Outdoor Club is designed especially for young children and their grown-ups and gives children the freedom to explore, play and discover at their own pace in the safety of our secure Walled Garden.

Led by our experienced Forest School practitioner Lisa, each week brings simple, nature-inspired adventures: mixing potions in the mud kitchen, hunting minibeasts in the leaves, splashing in puddles, nature crafts, sharing stories around the fire circle, all while enjoying the quiet magic of the changing seasons.

Mini Outdoor Club is about space to wander, time to wonder, and the confidence that grows when children are trusted to explore the natural world.

For little ones, these early experiences in nature help nurture:

• confidence and independence

• creativity and problem solving

• resilience and physical development

• a lifelong love of the outdoors

For parents and carers, our sessions offer something just as valuable: a cup of tea by the fire, conversations with like-minded parents, and the simple joy of watching your child light up as they discover the natural world.

What to expect

• Small, friendly groups

• Gentle, child-led exploration

• Seasonal nature activities and crafts

• Campfire snacks and warm drinks

• A welcoming space for parents to connect

No pressure. No perfection. Just muddy hands, fresh air, and the kind of childhood memories that stay with you forever.
