Private, bespoke skatepark
Each year we have a skate park built to our exact specifications, last years featurEd a flat bank, small hip, flat ground section with moveable rails, blocks, kickers and curbs, plus two beaut mini ramps, 1 designed for learning in mind, and the other for a real fun skate! Our first ramp stood at just 2ft tall with a super mellow transition, making scary tricks an absolute breeze – guests learnt their tricks on this one before taking them up to our second ramp – a 3.5ft beauty with a bit more transition to really get the wind in your hair. This years will be even better!
In need of a helping hand? Book into our morning group lesson to get a good head start on the day.
Private woodland, 42 acres of it!
Situated in the middle of a private woodland, it’s a perfect base from which to immerse yourself in the local wildlife, with plenty of secret routes to explore. Experience unparalleled access to the natural world from the comfort of the round house sofas where you can relax of an evening with a glass of wine, breathe in the fresh pine air (which is great for your lung function) and doze off to the meditative sound of the wind. Experience the powerful relaxing effects of sitting among the trees, which has been shown to stimulate an anti-depressant effect in our brains.
Outdoor Cooking
Fire gazing has also been shown to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, helping you to de-stress and unwind. Experience its calming effects in bucketloads as cook your meals around the BBQs or campfire. Kitchen ovens and walls? Extremely overrated if you ask us.
This event is fully catered for glamping and birdhouse guests, for those camping you can either purchase some delicious vegan food from our kitchen, or feel free to bring your own food and cooking equipment along with you. You are welcome to bring gas camping stoves or portable / disposable bbqs, however we do encourage the use of our open fire outdoor cooking facilities – we have an abundant wood shed, just remember to bring your own coal for the BBQ!
If you don’t fancy cooking, you will have the option to order a pizza and beer from the round house kitchen and bar!
Glamping options
If camping just isn’t for you, then we have some incredible, quirky huts for you to stay in this autumn. From cute and cosy. birdhouses to our spacious steel yurts, renovated log railway carriages, and even a boathouse! All with double or single beds, super warm duvets, fresh linen and a wood burning stove to keep you cosy at night. Let us know if you’re coming with friends and we’ll be sure to choose you the perfect stay.
“There was no pressure to spend any time with the whole group and I could go and get some alone time to chill out when I needed it. I’ll definitely be booking again next year!”
