Our outdoor learning area and events space
Brand new for 2026!
Hire our secluded woodland space, perfect for school visits, birthday parties, scouts, guides, and community groups. Set within a wooded area, it offers an inspiring outdoor location for learning, play, and events. This area is also available to hire for group sessions and activities, where organisers are looking to connect with nature, whatever the weather.
The site features a large, purpose-built wooden shelter that blends into the woodland and provides a spacious, all-weather outdoor classroom, ideal for groups even when the weather is not perfect. Alongside this are two seating circles, a minibeast exploration area, and a shelter-building zone, creating a flexible and engaging space for outdoor activities.
Teachers! If you think this beautiful space could be a good learning venue for your next school trip, we've got a little something extra - hire Pine Needle Glade and you will receive two Ranger in a Bag* activity bags to use during your visit. These self led educational resources come in a handy back pack and will support you to deliver learning about forests with experiential activities, scenarios and role play. Find out more.
