Lorraine and Claire are running a holiday outdoor play day this half term. There will be plenty of games, fun and opportunities for: learning, crafts, camp fire and choices in 5 acres at the wonderful Naturewise forest garden. A unique venue full of trees, streams, ponds, flowers, fruit bushes, places to hide, paths, sitting spots, big vistas and good facilities: composting toilets and handwashing.
This session is not subsidised but we hope to attain a grant to offer cheaper rates for parents who would like this opportunity for their children but cannot afford this price. We have tried to keep the price reasonable.
Book your place with Lorraine: ltcox@outlook.com she will send you further information
If you want to visit the site beforehand the garden is open every Tuesday 10-4pm. You are welcome to phone Claire who runs the garden for any queries on 07732 86 1104. The garden is also used by other groups on different days so please don’t just turn up.
Lorraine and Claire have extensive experience, read on for further information.
