What this is
A low-pressure day outdoors. Family Field Days are a simple invitation to spend time outside together.
There’s no set timetable and no need to “do” anything in particular.
Children can explore nature and play at their own pace. Adults can sit, walk, rest, or join in.
It’s a chance to step away from screens, schedules, and everyday demands and just be together in a field.
🌼 Families come here when they want:
-
a slower day together
-
less pressure and more space
-
children to have freedom outdoors
-
a break from busy routines
-
time that doesn’t feel structured or rushed
It’s not about activities.
It’s about space to be together differently.
🌿 THE FEELING
Many people leave saying things like:
“That was exactly what we needed.”
“The children were so happy just running around.”
“It felt so calm here.”
“We actually talked properly for the first time in ages.”
“We didn’t realise how much we needed that."

A Gentle Note
Family Field Days are informal community gatherings rather than a formal Forest School programme.
Parents and carers remain responsible for supervising their children at all times.
There may be optional seasonal activities available, but participation is entirely up to you. You're welcome to spend the afternoon however feels most nourishing for your family.
