Workshop
Forest School
Forest School offers participants the opportunity to develop confidence, self-esteem and social skills through physical hands-on learning experiences in a woodland environment. Supporting the development of a relationship between the child and the natural world.
Forest School suits all abilities, but children who have low self-esteem or who find the traditional classroom setting a challenge will often hugely benefit from our sessions. We offer Forest School for unaccompanied children or families. See more below.

Let the kids go wild in the glorious woodlands of our 84-acre site at the Food Museum!
Our Forest School is a unique experience that offers participants the opportunity to succeed and develop confidence through hands-on activities outdoors.
Forest School uses natural resources to stimulate imagination, creativity and investigation. Children aged 6 – 11 will discover nature, make new friends and take part in woodland activities, crafts and cooking.
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.
Suitable for ages 6 -11, unaccompanied

Disclaimer: The Food Museum will do their best to prevent contact with foods or ingredients which may cause an allergic reaction to my child and to prevent them coming into contact with those foods or ingredients. 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).
Family Forest School
Dates:

7 March
4 April
10.30am–1.30pm
Our Forest School is a unique experience that offers participants the opportunity to succeed, explore and develop confidence through hands-on activities using natural resources outdoors. Family Forest School is a more relaxed drop-in style session where adults are a part of the fun and take an active role in sessions. This is great for children with special education needs or who need more support, as well as an opportunity for children and carers to learn together.
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
