Groups wishing to come for a weekend or longer will be able to choose a number of courses to suit their interests. For large groups, we shall be able to give a choice of courses for each day to suit different interests. Accommodation may be possible in the holiday let accommodation and/or in tipis. For those wishing to stay in tipis alone, there will be basic toilet and washing facilities available, but you will be situated in a peaceful hay meadow field which in the Summer gives the feel of being surrounded by woodland. Catering can be provided if necessary - good local wholesome food with wonderful barbecues in the Summer. Just ring us to discuss your needs. - We will do our very best to make your time here a great learning experience as well as great fun.
