Fun-filled Getaway at Foxburrow
Get ready for an exciting outdoor experience as the Suffolk Wildlife Trust invites families to join their **Family Forest Adventure** at Foxburrow. While the event that took place on June 8, 2025, has already passed, there's plenty to look forward to in the future.
Following the Forest School ethos, this event offers a unique opportunity for child-led learning, immersed in nature. The day is filled with engaging activities such as hammock building, whittling, invertebrate hunting, woodland crafts, and even bridge building. Don't forget about the thrilling swings and the chance to learn fire lighting skills!
To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience, booking is required via email at Foxburrow.engagement@our website. Remember to dress appropriately for the weather, with hats, scarves, suncream, waterproofs, and long trousers to protect against stinging nettles and midges. Closed-toe shoes or trainers are essential due to potential tool use.
Families with members of limited mobility are asked to contact the organiser in advance to discuss any specific requirements. The event is wheelchair accessible, and assistance dogs are welcome.
For safety, sessions may be moved to the yard in high winds. Mobile phones are not permitted for children during the session, and each child should bring a packed lunch, snacks, and a water bottle. Lunch is not provided, so it's essential to pack a suitable meal that can stay in the child's rucksack.
Before booking, participants must read and agree to the family and children's events terms and conditions, which are available at http://www.our website/eventinfo. Adults must drop off their children, confirm emergency contact details with staff, and arrange who will be collecting the child before departing.
