Bluebell Open Weekend 31st -April – 1st May 2022

This year we will be showcasing some of the courses and events we will be running and giving the opportunity to have a Q&A session with some of our guest teachers who will be popping by.

On Sunday William Alpass, ‘Devon Forager’ will be assisting Lisa in the kitchen, preparing some wild treats from the woodlands larder.

Our main well-being outdoor therapist, Lizzie Francolini, will be on hand to talk about some of the innovative well-being courses that she is developing especially for Deer Wood.

Marc will be demonstrating making traditional rustic benches in the carpentry area,
and regular volunteer Gill will be helping out, meeting and greeting as well as chatting to anyone who is interested in volunteering about the types of projects she has generously dedicated her time and skills to.

We are very excited to be unveiling the area for the future ‘Outdoor Learning Shelter’ which is situated at the far side of the wood where the track ends.

We are currently fundraising to at last bring this long time goal to fruition so that the full range of our courses can be comfortably taught throughout the year, whatever the weather.

An artist’s impression of the finished area will be on show along with a description of the main courses.

All in all, it’s a big year for us and we are very grateful to everyone who has supported us in getting us to this landmark stage.

*We request that if you are travelling by car, please can you book in advance as we have limited parking.

Dogs are allowed but please keep them on a lead and scoop any poop.

Everyone is welcome to bring along a vegetarian/plant-based picnic to eat in the outdoor kitchen area.
