Children
"Absolutely fantastic place! My grandchildren spend many school holidays here being outdoors, getting muddy, making friends. They are so looking forward to next school holidays. Happy days for them with wonderful memories."
Grandparent of Holiday Club Attendees
Whatever the event, kids love running wild in our forest, learning new skills and crafts, and playing on our zipline, big rope swing and cargo net climb.
Parties
Whether Birthday, Hen do, anniversary, or any other celebration, what better way to celebrate than with a forest adventure with your friends. Make a wand or a staff, learn how to build a fire, create your own pewter cast model*, have campfire or pizza oven** cooked food, build a den...we can design your event to suit your needs, making it a day to remember and a fun day in the woods. Our woodland parties are very flexible and built around the individual's requirements, making sure you get the most from your special day.

Holiday Club
​
Come and join us for some school holiday fun! Give your children the very best reason to turn off their screens. They will come home muddy and exhausted and with exciting tales to tell of adventures in the woods. A great opportunity to make new friends, learn new skills and instil a sense of adventure many of us remember from our own childhood.
​
What's in store:
Outdoor Adventures: Venture through our woodlands, enjoying full access to our facilities, including the Roundhouse, a woodworking area sheltered by parachutes, and a cosy, covered campfire.
New for 2024: Introducing our amazing new activity zone for under 8s, featuring a workbench, mud kitchen, and wizard's potion lab, coat rack and wellies stand, all under a spacious parachute canopy. Guaranteed fun, no matter the weather!
Active Fun: Glide down the zip-line, master the cargo net, and swing from our assortment of tree swings.
Creativity: Choose from a variety of seasonal crafts and bushcraft activities, including green woodworking. See Activities page for our full list.
Campfire Treats: Rounding off each adventure with delicious S'mores, catering to all dietary needs.
​
It's worth keeping an eye on the weather and dress in comfy clothes you don't mind getting wet or muddy. We have a lovely little stream that is great fun to splash in, so a pair of wellies and a change of clothes are always a good idea!

Free HAF Funded Holiday Club places
- Christmas 2024
​
Eden's Forest CIC are delighted to be able to offer free HAF places, funded by the Department of Education, at our regular Holiday Club, for eligible children aged 8+ who are in receipt of benefits-related free school meals (FSM), or have a child that would benefit due to some other criteria for example mental well being or other special circumstances.
We offer homemade seasonal, delicious and nutritious, hot & cold lunches, including campfire cooking as well as the occasional Pizza from our woodfired oven! You just need to book a 'catering package' at the same time as your chosen dates.
We are so pleased to be supporting this initiative, and be able to offer limited free spaces over 4 days during the Christmas holidays.
Dates available:
Monday 30th December 2024
Tuesday 31st December 2024
Thursday 2nd January 2025
Friday 3rd January 2025
Time: 10:00-15:30
Please note earlier finish time due to sunset.
Please Email nicola@edensforestcic.org or Text Adam 07734 898650 for more details. Once eligibility is confirmed, we will send you a 100% discount code that can be used to book both a Holiday Club session and a 'catering package' aka lunch for your children.
If your child is eligible, you can book any of these dates or indeed all 4 if you need to. Spaces are limited, so it would be much appreciated if you could book what you need and not 'just in case'.
Once you are booked on, if your child is unwell or unable to attend for whatever reason please email myself or text Adam 07734 898650 to let us know, as we often have waiting lists.
We are looking forward to welcoming your children to our Holiday Club this winter.
