for families
“Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.” Mary Lou Cook.
little explorers
Little Explorers offers fun outdoor activities for pre-school children and their parents or carers. The group is led by an experienced and fully qualified Forest School leader and allows children to play and explore the natural world in their own way. Children (and adults too) make huge gains in confidence.
​
There are three Little Explorers sessions each Monday during term time 9:30am – 10:45am; 11:15am – 12:30pm; 1:15pm – 2:30pm
Sessions cost £3.50 per child per session with concessions for low income families.

children's parties
We can host a unique nature inspired party for your child and their friends.
Let their imagination run wild with themes and games based around activities including bug hunts, 'smelly potions', natural arts and crafts and den building. You could even have your party on our narrowboat with a theme to match - Pirates never seems to go out of fashion (parents walking the plank is optional of course!).

We offer public boat trips as part of every holiday activity programme, where families can book spaces for themselves to enjoy a trip down the canal with other like-minded passengers. In addition there is the option to book the entire boat for your family or wider party group.
Trips can last between 2 and 6 hours ,with the option bring along a picnic or treat yourselves to fish and chips en route as part of your day out!
