Details

Discover, Connect, Create: A Forest School for Adults

Take a break from the hustle and join our monthly Forest School for Adults, an escape into nature where relaxation and creativity meet. Each session, we’ll explore a seasonal, nature-inspired activity—whittling, clay work, flower and leaf printing, fire lighting, foraging, or campfire cooking.

This is your space to unwind, reconnect with the natural world, and share the joy of learning something new alongside like-minded people. Perfect for anyone looking to embrace the rhythms of the seasons, build skills, and connect with nature.

Instructions

Where:
The session will take place at Wild Things, located just off Scarcroft Road, within the grounds of Millthorpe School. As this event runs on a weekend, parking is available at the school.

Clothing:

Please dress for the outdoors. While we’ll have a fire, it’s important to stay warm and comfortable. Layers are essential—consider thermals, snow boots, neoprene wellies, or sturdy walking boots (standard wellies can get too cold in winter).

Weather Policy:
We embrace almost all weather—rain, snow, or sunshine—but safety comes first. In the event of gusty winds or storms, sessions will be rescheduled or refunded. In these cases, Emma will contact you directly with updates.

What to Bring:

  • A travel cup for hot drinks.
  • A small towel for drying hands.
  • Optional - a camping chair

Facilities:
We have a simple camping-style toilet with warm water for handwashing.

Arrival & Departure:
The session runs from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM. Upon arriving at Millthorpe School (via Nunthorpe Avenue), walk up the path and look across the field to your right. You’ll see us in the wooded area—cross the field and join us there!

Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Emma
