Festive Bushcraft Workshops with Green Mountain Nature Play

Green Mountain Nature Play is bringing a little handmade magic to Berry in the lead-up to Christmas, with Festive Bushcraft Workshops for kids aged 4-14 years.

These 2.5 hour morning sessions running Saturday 20th to Tuesday 23rd December, allow kids to space to create thoughtful, slow-made gifts such as beeswax candles, wooden gnomes, felt doves and woven wreaths, guided by nature play mentors and local artist Penny Craig.

Sessions on Saturday 20th & Monday 22nd December will focus on Candle and Felt Dove Making, while sessions on Sunday 21st and Tuesday 23rd December will focus on Gnome Whittling and Weaving. Along the way they will join a nature treasure hunt, craft their own bush-brush, design gift wrap, paint wooden decorations, mould an air-dry clay candle holder and take part in collaborative, nature-based play.

It is a wonderful opportunity for children to learn bushcraft skills while making something truly special. While they are happily immersed, parents can wander Berry’s shops and cafés just a short stroll away.
