Forest School

Let the kids go wild at Forest School!

Our Forest School is a unique opportunity for children to explore the glorious woodlands of our 84-acre site at the Food Museum. Designed for ages 6–11, our sessions help children develop confidence, self-esteem and social skills through hands-on activities in nature.

Using natural resources, children will build, create, play, and investigate — sparking imagination and curiosity. They’ll also make new friends, enjoy woodland crafts and cooking, all under the guidance of our trained Forest School practitioners.

Forest School suits all abilities, but is especially beneficial for children who may find the traditional classroom challenging or who need a boost to their confidence.

Please ensure your child comes dressed for adventure: clothes should protect them from heat, cold and scratches, and be comfortable for a full day outdoors. Remember it can be cooler in the woods than expected.

Ages 6-11, all abilities welcome.

Family Forest School

These sessions are not for unaccompanied children and each child will need a one-to-one or parent with them who will also take part in activities. Children are the accompanying adult’s responsibility. All participants (adult and child) need a ticket, as everyone is an active participant in the session. 

All sessions are designed and led by trained Forest School practitioners.

Please ensure children are appropriately dressed for Forest School. Clothes should protect children from extremes of heat or cold, keep them covered to reduce the likelihood of cuts and scrapes and fit for comfort. Please be aware that in the woods it can often be cooler than expected.

Ages 5+, all abilities welcome.

However, it is possible that manufacturers of the foods and ingredients used in the sessions could change the formulation at any time, without notice, and food preparation by its very nature may involve cross-contamination or inadvertent contact with particular foods and ingredients. I am aware of this risk and that Food Museum cannot guarantee that any child with an allergy will never be exposed to a particular food or allergy. In the event they have an allergic reaction to any of the ingredients used, I accept that Food Museum cannot be held responsible in respect of any injury, including death caused to my child (save as a result of Food Museum negligence).
