🔥 Looking for a unique birthday experience filled with adventure, campfires and outdoor fun? 🌲

Our bespoke woodland parties are packed with outdoor adventure, fun and creativity! Children can enjoy activities such as woodland games, den building, mud slides, rope assault courses, and cooking hot dogs and delicious s'mores around the campfire. We can even discuss specific themes to make the day extra special. And they're not just for children – why not celebrate an adult's birthday with a unique woodland experience?

Parties are available at Donisthorpe Primary School, DE12 7QF
(£18 per person, with parking available in the school car park). Sessions last for 2 hours and can accommodate up to 30 children.

The cost includes sausages, bread rolls, sauces, marshmallows and biscuits for s'mores, plus hot drinks for the adults.
