Bushcraft Birthday Parties
A wild outdoor celebration they’ll remember.
A woodland birthday experience that’s adventurous, hands-on, and memorable.
Parties focus on shared adventure, simple bushcraft skills, and time outdoors with friends — all delivered in our private woodland setting.
What Happens
The party begins with a welcome and activities to help everyone settle in.
Children take part in guided bushcraft challenges, woodland games, and fire-based activities, with time to explore and play.
The session finishes around the campfire, where campfire food is prepared and enjoyed as part of the fire-lighting activity before heading home.
Sessions are carefully structured to keep things moving and maximise hands-on time in the woodland.
A typical party includes:
Building woodland dens as a team
Energetic outdoor games and challenges
Safe fire lighting using flint & steel
Tending a shared campfire
Campfire food prepared during the fire-lighting activity
Toasted marshmallows over the fire
Sessions may occasionally vary to make the most of woodland conditions.
