Thank you for our [wild woods day] – everybody said how good the whole experience was. We had a great day, and when we were at work on Friday, people were still talking about how much they enjoyed it.

FAQ’s

Do people need any outdoor experience to enjoy a session or a course?

No experience is required for a fulfilling experience.

Where do the sessions and courses take place?

We use a number of sites around Sheffield, all with their own character. We can also come to you with our equipment so if you have an area you'd like to use, we can certainly discuss it.

What if it rains?

Shelters are provided in the case of rain showers. Sessions will only be postponed in the case of high winds, electrical storms or adverse weather conditions.

Will there be car parking, public transport or bike parking?

All sites have a car park a few minutes walk from the woodland space. They are all accessible by public transport and have safe bike storage.

Accessibility

All sites have welfare facilities including those for disabled people and most spaces will accommodate wheelchair users. The nature of the woodland environment means the ground can be uneven or muddy. If anyone is concerned about this, please do get in touch so we can ensure complete accessibility.

Health and Safety

All sites and activities are risk assessed. Woodland Wellbeing holds liabiity insurance (£10m), SSC permit and certificates in Outdoor First Aid, Paediatric First Aid, Safeguarding and Food Hygiene.
