The Bushcraft Show is a fantastic way to spend the bank holiday weekend and a wonderful introduction to bushcraft skills for a younger generation. We offer a wide selection of activities tailored for children. Here’s a small selection of what to expect
Learn how to make your own woodland shelter! Make a shelter out of sticks and branches you find in the woods, and cover it with leaves or tarpaulin to keep the rain out!
Safely introduce your children to using knives for woodcarving. This is a fantastic hobby, and a wonderful lesson that knives should be respected as a tool and not treated as a weapon. There will be a number of supervised classes in which your children can have a go!
The Wild Man of the Woods will be at the Bushcraft Show 2019, enchanting children (and adults!) with stories, songs and music. These will include history, mystery, and lessons about nature.
Each evening there will be a bedtime stories session with hot chocolate and cookies!
Come along and be turned into a jaguar, tiger, butterfly, snake, spider or another wild creature and have your face painted at The Bushcraft Show (free of charge).
Have-a-go at lighting a fire with a firesteel. This simple technique is a perfect introduction to the world of fire-lighting and is always extremely popular with children!
There will also be opportunities to learn, and perhaps try, other forms of firelighting!
Could you eat a mealworm? Do you want cricket sandwiches for your lunch? What about your parent/caregiver? Come and explore what causes us to feel disgust and learn how you can overcome those feelings. Samples will be available for the brave!
