Where?

We are based in private woodland near Titchfield, along the road to Wickham. We have a composting toilet on site. The exact meet point details will be provided after checkout.

Please note that forest school takes place in a forest so the ground is uneven and there are trip hazards. There is a 5 minute walk into site which requires you to walk over a narrow bridge and climb over a stile. If these will be a problem for you please contact us before you book to discuss your access needs.

What to bring?

We will be outside the whole time so you need to be warm and comfortable. Layers are the best option. Here is an idea of what to wear/bring (dependent on weather):

• Base layers – thermals

• Comfy durable trousers which you don’t mind getting muddy or stained

• One top, long sleeved to protect from scratches and tics

• At least one warm jumper

• a zip up fleece or similar that can be worn over jumper

• Warm scarf, hat and gloves

• Warm woolly socks

• Sturdy walking boots (Essential!)

• Spare trousers, top, pants and socks in backpack

• Waterproof trousers and coat (even if it's not raining)

• Insect repellent (if desired)

• Any medications you need (e.g. epipens, inhalers, etc.)

Please avoid long coats (e.g. dryrobes) as they restrict your movement which is dangerous near the fire especially. Anyone who is not wearing suitable clothes and shoes unfortunately won't be able to come into the wood with us.

Cancellations

No refunds are given if you're unable to make a session. Exception to this is only in the event of the session being cancelled by the leader due to bad weather or illness.

As this consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
