Weekly toddler group, holiday adventure club and woodland parties
Wild Ones
A weekly group for under 5’s and their parents / grandparents / carers.
Families and children were at the heart from the beginning of EcoWild and this is our longest running group: a toddler-paced fun adventure of the elements and senses! Fires, dens, games, songs, crafts and snacks. Spot deer tracks or badger fur, make something beautiful, follow the seasons, climb, balance and splash!
Day / Time: Weekly on Friday mornings in term time (B&NES)
Cost: £8 (full price) / £5 (low cost) for an adult plus child
“We loved making the fire, having a hot drink, singing and craft activities. The leaders made us feel so welcome and had a really gentle way with the children while also being inspirational.”
Holiday Adventure Club

We offer a range of activities, including fire cooking, dens, environmental art, animal tracking, shelter building, tool and craft work, stream games, camouflage challenges, storytelling, hot chocolate by the fire and more.
Day / Time: Summer and Autumn school holidays

“My child thrives at EcoWild. He absolutely loves it and learns so much. The leaders are so capable, knowledgeable, gentle and kind. It is the best nature group around. We love it!“
Birthday Parties
Two hours of party fun in the beautiful setting of Greyfield Wood!
We start with a woodland game followed by a treasure hunt to find marshmallows and biscuits to cook s’mores on the fire. After pausing by the fire for the s’mores and a hot chocolate, we’ll take part in an activity: natural ink painting, a bug hunt, making magic wands, den building or similar, tailored to the child’s interest.
Day / Time: Saturdays and Sundays, 2 hours between 10am and 4pm
Cost: £120 (for up to 10 children) / additional children £10 each
“Thank you so much for such a fantastic party. He absolutely loved it, as did all the other children. It is such a beautiful woods, and the set up with the fire, hammock and crafts was wonderful.”
