Bushcraft Experience Taster

Bushcraft Taster Days

Our Taster Days are designed to be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities. If you’re a complete novice and have never done anything like this before, don’t worry. All of our staff have experience working closely with people to help achieve and get the most out of their experience.

Throughout the day there will be plenty of hands on time to learn different skills, as doing, is a much better way of learning than sitting and watching. We will then all move on together when everyone is ready.

Taster Days cost £75 per person for people aged 16-18 on the day of the event, and £85 for adults over 18.

We will provide hot and cold drinks throughout your day with us, a basic lunch in the middle of the day, a hot cooked meal before you return home at the end of the day.
