Herstmonceux Castle Forest School

Forestry School is great for community groups, infant schools, primary schools, secondary schools or birthday parties.

Whether you are looking for a term time experience, holiday and half term activities, or a special event to celebrate a child’s birthday, Forest School is an inspirational process that offers all learners opportunities to achieve and develop confidence through hands-on experiences in a woodland environment.

We promote holistic development of ALL involved, fostering resilient, confident, independent and creative learners. Forest School offers learners the opportunity to take supported risks appropriate to the environment and themselves.

You will have the opportunity to revisit, engage and foster a love for the wonderful ancient woodland at Herstmonceux Castle over a period of six or more sessions.

The experience includes campfire building, lighting and management, campfire cooking, tool work, using greenwood to make wooden objects, den and shelter building, foraging, nature games, nature education and much more.
