It wouldn’t be the summer holidays without Holiday Club. We are super busy this summer but have carved out a couple of days for Holiday Club. Groups will be kept small (max 8) so do book to avoid disappointment. We have a nice range of activities available with something for everyone.
Tuesday August 13th – Woodland Crafts
We will be getting creative with plants (Plant craft!) to make gorgeous little fairy baskets and/or cordage jewellery and other items. Using natural materials such as bark, nettles, grasses and other plants we will make gorgeous things. This is a great introduction to weaving and the joy of harvesting, processing and making things from nature. I will have materials prepared so that young hands can have a go at successful weaving with natural materials. We will be based the woods around the campfire.
Book Now: Ages 7 to 10yrs – 10am to 1pm
Book Now: Ages 11yrs+ 2pm to 5pm
Tuesday August 20th Fire and campfire cooking
All things fire! A proper opportunity for children to experiment and learn about a range of fire lighting techniques (including the bow drill) and to cook something delicious on the fire. Everyone will be involved and have a go at laying, lighting and managing a small fire. Fabulous life skills and an enormous sense of achievement and satisfaction.

Friday August 23rd Archery and knifework
Based in the Conservation Garden in Thaxted we will have a packed session that includes a full introduction to the noble art of archery with lots of opportunity to shoot arrows until the arms can take no more, This will be followed by a whittling/knifework session. Using bushcraft knives we will learn the safe technique of knifework.
