FOOD AND DRINK

Snacks: Hot drinks, biscuits and a mid-morning snack will be provided.
Depending on availability, we sometimes offer a taste of ‘wild food’, for example this might be insects we buy in or foraged plants. Most children are curious and we encourage them to try it but there is no pressure. Please inform us if you specifically do not wish your child to try it.

Water: Water will be available throughout the day. Your child will need to bring a water bottle.

Lunch: Lunch will be cooked on the fire. If your child has any dietary requirements please inform us on the booking form. Due to the nature of cooking in the woods, there will be limited opportunity for changes on the day. You are welcome to provide a packed lunch if you prefer.

If your child is bringing any food, please ensure that it does not contain any nuts.

Our holiday clubs are priced at £30 per child which includes all refreshments and lunch on the day.
