Two Day Refresher | April 2027

This weekend is for qualified forest school leaders, and anyone working in the overlap between bushcraft and childcare, who wants to spend two days getting hands-on and brushing up their practical skills.

We'll cover the basics and then push into some extensions: knots, tool work including whittling and axe carving, and work with larger tools. On fire, we'll go beyond the standard lay and get into some more unusual fire lighting techniques.

There'll also be space to bring your own practice into the group. If there's a situation or a skill you've found tricky in your own setting, bring it along, we'll spend some group time unpicking it and practising together.

Dates
Saturday 17th–Sunday 18th April 2027. Saturday 9:30am to Sunday 2:30pm.

Pricing
£180 – choose this ticket if budgeting is rarely a concern when accessing training, or if an organisation is paying for this course on your behalf.
£150 – choose this ticket if this reflects a fair price for where you're at right now.
£120 – choose this ticket if budgeting or financial choices are often the barrier when it comes to accessing training.

Camping
Overnight camping is included as standard with your ticket. Please let us know when booking whether you'll be pitching a tent, or need one of our layby spaces outside the woods for a camper van or converted vehicle.

Food
Saturday lunch and Sunday lunch are both cooked communally as part of the weekend, so there'll be time built in to prep and eat together. Saturday dinner is sorted too, fish and chips ordered in from the local chip shop and delivered straight to the woods.
