Outdoor Adventurers Forest School

Welcome to Outdoor Adventurers Forest School, a unique establishment situated within the grounds of Heaton Park, Prestwich, Manchester, United Kingdom. Our Forest School provides children, families and individuals of all ages with the opportunity to engage with nature, learn new skills, explore their creativity and develop a love of the outdoors.

At Outdoor Adventurers Forest School, we believe that children learn best through hands-on experiences and unstructured play. Our outdoor activities are designed to foster independence, resilience and problem-solving skills, as well as ease feelings of stress, anxiety and overwhelm. Our expert instructors provide a safe, supportive and nurturing environment where children can take risks, experiment and challenge themselves.

Our Forest School activities vary depending on the season and age group but may include woodland walks, den building, fire lighting, tool use, natural crafts, storytelling, wildlife discovery, team building, camping and much more. All of our activities are carried out with the utmost care and attention to safety and welfare, and we have strict safeguarding policies and procedures in place.

We offer a variety of programs to suit different needs and preferences. Our after-school clubs and holiday camps are popular choices for busy families looking for fun and educational activities outside of school hours. We also run tailored sessions for schools, nurseries and community groups, as well as bespoke programmes for birthday parties and special events.

Our Forest School is located on The Island, a secluded area of Heaton Park that offers a tranquil and inspiring setting for learning and play. We are easily accessible by car, bus or tram, with free parking available onsite. We provide all the necessary equipment and materials, including waterproof clothing and boots, so you can just come and enjoy the experience.
