Join Wilder Doddington for a family-friendly adventure where curiosity leads the way.
A unique chance to explore the great outdoors, discover local wildlife, and connect with the natural world. Perfect for sparking a sense of wonder in young explorers, and reigniting it in grown-ups too.
What do you require to survive in the wild?
Step away from screens and into the woods for a hands-on bushcraft adventure. Guided by the Wilder team, you’ll build dens, learn fire lighting techniques and other wilderness skills.
You will explore by walking across varied terrain and into the wildness of one of Doddington’s old woodlands. Ideal for older children to explore practical bushcraft and to share forest school experiences with their families.
Suitable for children aged 8-15 years old. Please note that children under the age of 8 will not be permitted on the activity, even if not taking part.
