New Event Announced – Join Us Outdoors!

We’re excited to bring you this immersive one-day bushcraft course, created especially for our community in collaboration with JP and the expert team at Howl Bushcraft.

This engaging day in nature is ideal for those who love adventure and want to boost their survival skills in the outdoors. Whether you’re new to bushcraft or looking to deepen your connection with the natural world, this experience offers a welcoming space to learn, grow, and reconnect.

You’ll be guided by experienced instructors as you learn hands-on skills including:

• Building natural shelters

• Fire making techniques

• Outdoor cooking

• Bushcraft tools and craft

• Nature awareness and sustainable practices

You’ll leave not only with practical techniques, but also with a greater understanding of the natural world and how to move through it with respect and care.

Take a break from your daily routine, challenge yourself, and enjoy an unforgettable day in the outdoors with a like-minded group of women.

This full day introductory Bushcraft course is packed with the primary concerns of spending a night outdoors: Fire, Shelter, Water, Food. For anyone venturing out into the wild, whether hiking in the Lakes or Canoeing in Scotland or even camping with the family in summer: there is a core set of skills that will make any trip more enjoyable, and grant you the confidence to know you could camp comfortably overnight if you needed. I planned this course to give anyone heading off into the outdoors a touchstone on which they can rely. This course also acts as a perfect introduction to all our other courses, and is ideal if you’re thinking of getting into bushcraft but don’t know where to start. -JP
