Education at Wicksteed ParkAt Wicksteed Park we are keen to provide Educational Activities for young and old. We can help with activities utilising the environment of the Park, the heritage of the park, including Charles Wicksteed and social history, as well as activities based on the history of play and the design of fairground rides.
Forest School
Forest school is a type of outdoor education in which children (or adults) visit woodlands, learning personal, social and technical skills. It has been defined as “an inspirational process that offers children, young people and adults regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence through hands-on learning in a woodland environment.” Forest school uses the woods as a means to build independence and self-esteem in children and young adults.”
Here at Wicksteed Park in our very own 3 Arce Arboretum, we are running our own Forest School, with a wide range of activities, offering one-off sessions and a programme of six week sessions for any age.
Prices start from £75 per half day/ £150 per full day
