Welcome to

Worcester Woodland Explorers!

We are Worcester Woodland Explorers - a popular and well-respected Woodland Business, set in a beautiful and magical forest clearing. We welcome parents and children of all ages to come and explore our natural surroundings, immerse themselves in nature and take part in a huge range of forest-based activities. We recommend that children can walk/toddle before joining us in the woods for our 'Stay and Play' sessions, but all ages are welcome. We welcome you to come for a taster session first. Children should always be accompanied by an adult for the whole session

Summer Term 2025

Our Summer Term runs from Monday 28th April until Friday 11th July. Please note due to Bank Holidays, school trips and other commitments there will be some days we are closed.

Please just email us to book the term or ask about a flexi pass option, which lets you book for around half the sessions on offer, to help you fit it around holidays and other plans.

We run:

Mondays 10.00am-11.15am

Tuesdays 10am-11.15am

Fridays 10.15am-11.30am

We also offer a taster session for new families, a generous sibling discount and great childminder offers too.

EMAIL US

Once the term has started, we can still happily take new bookings, so please just email us at any point to arrange a session.

Our Session Times

We currently run sessions for 1 hour 15 minutes on the following days and times:

Mondays 10.00am-11.15am

Tuesdays 10am-11.15am

Fridays 10.15am-11.30am

Each week we plan for a different theme, with crafts, singing, games, activities, campfires and cooking, woodland resources to explore, treasure hunts and so much more!

"This is a really fabulous set up and both Sarah and Rachael are super friendly and engaging with the children, whilst making everything educational at the same time - thank you both for all the hard work you put into making our Thursday afternoons so enjoyable! 🙌🏼"

January 2025 announcement

We have been so lucky to be awarded a third lottery bid which has secured the building of our new Basecamp Pagoda Shelter called our 'Buzzing Basecamp'. This will means less drips as our parachute was getting a little bit old.

January 2024 announcement

We are delighted to let you know that the Charitable Arm of ‘Worcester Woodland Explorers’ was successful in obtaining a second consecutive Grant from the National Lottery!

So alongside our beautiful Woodland Lodge, we now have had a wooden toilet block, new wooden gates, a log store and large painting frames built, which we are incredibly grateful for as well as benefiting groups of children without outdoor space to come and use our forest for sessions.

WHAT DO WE OFFER?

Family Sessions!

Over the year, we will be offering some additional holiday and weekend woodland sessions, for families to enjoy together. Please keep an eye out for future events that will be posted here.
