Going on a bear hunt
A woodland adventure for bears and their owners
What is it?
We're going on a bear hunt through the ancient woodland..... we're not scared! Find the (not so scary) bear and join him for tea and a few magic tricks. Play games with your bears.
How far to walk?
About half a mile. The paths are rough, but accessible to buggies.
What to wear?
Something suitable for messing about in the woods. Raincoats and good shoes if it's wet!
What to bring?
A small snack for each child to have in the woods and most importantly a bear (or other creature) to bring on an adventure. If it's a birthday, bring a birthday cake to enjoy back at the play area or picnic area after the activity.
What does Wilderness Wood provide?
A ranger to organise the activity and provide all equipment.
How many people?
Maximum group size 16 children per ranger, aged 3-8. Minimum 3 adults to accompany and help.
What if it’s wet?
We go ahead irrespective of weather conditions. In very wet weather, the ranger will run a part of the activity undercover.
How much?
£90 for 1 hour. Maximum 16 children per ranger. Age range 3-8. Minimum 3 adults to accompany and help. Price includes 8 adults; extras pay usual admission charge.
When?
Weekdays at any time, including after school. Saturdays and Sundays morning or afternoon. Invite people to arrive 15 mins before the activity is due to start, to allow for latecomers; children can enjoy the play area. With play and birthday cake after the activity, allow 2 hours in total for your party.
Your party will start at the time booked. Please ensure guests arrive at least 15 minutes before the start time, and have used the toilet before the start time. Bring all your food, drink and anything else you want to take into the wood to the meet point, ready to go at the start time. If your party starts late, it will be curtailed, as the rangers have other commitments.
Party bags
Excellent quality party bags can be supplied – two fun toys and a Wilderness Wood pencil, in a recycled paper carrier bag. Price £2.40 each (bag alone 28p, to fill yourself). Please order on children's booking form. Toys rotate periodically.
