Family Forest Gathering – July
July 8, 2023 @ 10:30 am – 2:30 pm
A Day of Family Connection with HARE Forest School
HARE runs Forest School sessions in Parkend, Gloucestershire. Forest School is not just for children, it is equally beneficial for children and adults of all ages.
Our Family Forest Gatherings run monthly either on a Saturday or during the school holidays, incorporating family yoga, Forest School, nature connection, bushcraft, traditional crafts, games and play.
Our first Family Forest Gathering on the 12th April 2023 was a fantastic day in spite of the rain. Join us for our monthly gatherings (dates below) where we will be running family friendly activities throughout the day.
Our activities encompass our themes of wellbeing, experiential learning and play. We will be running workshops in bushcraft, family yoga and textiles.
Please bring a packed lunch / picnic for your family. We will provide hot drinks and water.
Family Forest Gatherings are open to all family members. So why not bring along the grandparents, or maybe send the grandparents with the children while you have a break!
Address: Beaver Lodge, Whitecroft Road, Parkend, Lydney, Gloucestershire, GL15 4HG
