Details: Looking for something exciting to do this Summer? Looking for fun, adventure, learning new skills??

Come and join us and escape across the 13.5 acres of woodland, wetland, ponds and lakes at Lanjeth Nursery and Water Gardens - Forest School.

Our Summer Holiday Club is designed to captivate young people aged between 5 and 15 years old, where we will challenge and inspire the curious, and give confidence to the cautious.

Our site is perfect to connect people of all ages and abilities with the natural world; to better understand their place within it, and to play their part in shaping its future.

Cornish Bush Craft is a key part of our sessions, with those attending helping to design the day and experiences we can provide. The skills we may look at include bushcraft tool use, approaches to fire lighting, woodworking, ropes and knots, den and bridge building and simply loads of outdoor fun. The sessions will run come rain or shine! No two days will be the same - the only similarity will be at the end of the day when smiling, tired and dirty faces disappear out of the bush and back to civilisation and normality!

Days start with a forest fry-up! - a warm bap to line your stomach ready for a morning of fun and adventure. Stopping at lunchtime to prepare and then devour tasty forest fare, before venturing into a full afternoon of activity; learning and having fun.
