A Memorable, Outdoor Experience for your class
Your local workshop leader will travel to your school to deliver a hands-on outdoor learning workshop for your chosen topic. Each class takes part in a 2 hour or 1.5 hour workshop. During each session the workshop leader will assess your children as they go and tailor the activities to each class.
Linked to the National Curriculum
Every activity is carefully designed by qualified Primary Teachers to deepen learning, not just fill time. Whether you’re at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of your topic we’ll take the children’s learning a step further.
Fully Resourced & Stress-Free
We bring everything needed, set up the workshop in your outdoor space, and tidy it all away afterwards so your staff can relax and enjoy the experience alongside the children.
We simply ask that the usual classroom adults join us for the session, supporting behaviour with their knowledge of the children.
We proudly deliver workshops to primary schools across County Durham, Greater Manchester, Calderdale, Lancashire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, West, South & North Yorkshire. See a full list in our FAQs.
How to Book:
What our teachers are saying:
The outdoor environment fuels focus, memory & communication. Outdoor learning is proven to activate parts of the brain formal lessons often don’t reach; boosting working memory, language use, and critical thinking.
When children are outdoors; moving, exploring, and discovering for themselves, everything clicks faster and sticks longer.
These workshops are designed to take those benefits of the outdoors, combine them with the curriculum and create a buzz around your topic! Created by primary teachers, our workshops give your topic the “wow” moment we know you want to deliver to your class.
This is the kind of day they’ll go home talking about—and still remember years from now.

Please note that VAT is added to the cost of your booking. However, your school may be able to reclaim this VAT, so we recommend checking with your finance team to see if this applies to you. Helpful tip: If you’re planning to ask parents to contribute towards the cost of the workshop, it’s worth confirming this in advance. Being able to reclaim the VAT could help you avoid passing on the additional cost.
We will keep an eye on the weather forecast in the days running up to your booking. If heavy rain or strong winds is forecast we will contact you to reschedule the workshop as closely to your original booking as the weather and our availability will allow.
We understand that, on rare occasions, unforeseen circumstances may mean your school needs to cancel a workshop. Should this happen, please refer to our cancellation policy for full details on how we manage these situations.
Nothing! Our workshop leaders will turn up prepared with everything your children will need to enjoy the session on the day. They may just need to fill some containers with water upon arrival, depending on which workshop you have booked.
Check each individual workshop page to find out what type of space is required for each workshop as this varies between workshops.
We work with hundreds of children every year with a wide range of needs, so we are highly experienced in adapting our workshops to ensure all children can be included. Children are welcome to dip in and out of activities if they need to, and our staff are trained to work thoughtfully and sensitively with those who have additional needs. If any children in your class have significant physical needs, please let us know before booking. This will allow us to discuss and plan any necessary adaptations to make sure the workshop is suitable and inclusive for everyone.
Please let us know how we can avoid clashes within the school day when booking, this enables us to ensure our workshop leaders turn up prepared.

All of our team members undergo an enhanced DBS check registered to us. Every staff member will bring their DBS certificate and photo ID to present at every school they visit.
If you need any of this information prior to the day please just let us know and we will be happy to provide it.
We have off-peak pricing available for workshops booked during our quietest times of the year. Please check the webpages for these dates as they are updated regularly.
We also offer discounts for referrals! If you refer us to another school who book with us you’ll receive 10% off your next workshop with us.
We do sometimes run promotions when celebrating special events, please sign up to our email list and follow us on social media to stay up to date for these.
As a VAT-registered company, we are required to charge VAT on top of our pricing. However, if your school is a state school, you are able to reclaim this VAT from the Government. We provide a clear price breakdown with every booking so you can see exactly what the workshop will cost your school.
