What Do You Need Right Now?

Life can feel busy.

There are always jobs to do, messages to answer, places to be, and expectations to meet. It's easy to find ourselves moving from one task to the next without stopping to ask a simple question:

What do I actually need right now?

At Splatt Farm Gardens, that's the question at the heart of everything we do.

Not because we think everyone needs the same thing, but because we believe wellbeing looks different for each person, on each day.

Sometimes we need adventure.

Sometimes we need connection.

Sometimes we need purpose.

Sometimes we need rest.

And sometimes we simply need a quiet place to sit under the sky and breathe.

A Place to Reconnect with Nature

Splatt Farm Gardens is a small nature-based space in Spaxton, Somerset, created to support the wellbeing of people, community, and the natural world.

We believe nature offers something many of us are missing: space.

Space to slow down.

Space to think.

Space to notice how we're feeling.

Space to reconnect with ourselves and the world around us.

Whether you're camping beneath the stars, watching children explore freely, sharing food around a fire, or simply sitting quietly in the field, nature has a remarkable way of helping us return to what matters.

Choose Your Own Path

There is no right way to experience Splatt Farm Gardens.

Some people visit to camp and enjoy a peaceful break in nature.

Some join our Family Field Days and spend a relaxed day outdoors together.

Others attend retreats, workshops, volunteering days, or community gatherings.

Children may join our Forest School programmes, building confidence, curiosity, resilience, and a deeper connection with the natural world.

Some people arrive looking for adventure.

Others arrive looking for peace.

Many discover a little of both.

Family Field Days in Somerset

Our Family Field Days are a simple invitation for families to spend time together outdoors.

No complicated schedule.

No pressure to achieve anything.

Just open space, nature, freedom, and time together.

Children can explore, play, discover, and follow their curiosity while adults have an opportunity to slow down and enjoy being present.

In a world that often feels rushed, we believe there is value in creating time that isn't measured by productivity.

Forest School and Outdoor Learning

Our Forest School sessions offer children the opportunity to learn through nature, play, exploration, and real-world experiences.

Through den building, fire skills, nature crafts, wildlife exploration, gardening, and child-led learning, children develop practical skills while growing confidence and independence.

Forest School isn't simply outdoor education.

It's about helping children build meaningful relationships with themselves, each other, and the natural world.

Retreats, Community and Rest

Many people tell us they arrive at Splatt Farm Gardens feeling busy, tired, or disconnected.

They often leave saying something much simpler:

"I didn't realise how much I needed that."

Our retreats, community gatherings, volunteering days, and seasonal events are all designed around a simple idea:

There is no right way to be here.

Some people join every activity.

Some spend most of the day in a hammock.

Some make new friends.

Some enjoy time alone.

All of it belongs.

Growing Wellbeing from the Ground Up

Alongside our events and experiences, we're also developing naturally fermented foods, seasonal produce, and opportunities for people to connect with local food and land stewardship.

For us, wellbeing isn't something that comes from a quick fix.

It's something that grows through connection:

Connection with nature.

Connection with community.

Connection with meaningful activity.

Connection with ourselves.

You're Welcome Here

Whether you're looking for ca

mping in Somerset, a Forest School programme for your child, a family day outdoors, a nature retreat, a volunteering opportunity, or simply a place to slow down and reconnect with nature, we'd love to welcome you.

Because before anything else, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to pause and ask:

What do you need right now?

And perhaps more importantly:

What would happen if you gave yourself permission to listen?
