Bush Craft

Fire Up The Fun

Come and learn some Bushcraft Skills

Have you ever watched those survival films and TV shows and thought, “I could do that”?

Well, now you can!  Or at least you can have a go, owing to the immensely popular Bushcraft activity days running at our Hazlewood Castle activity centre.  Light fires and build shelters with nothing but your own fair hands and a modest helping of some of nature’s finest resources out in our very own woodland setting.

We have 2 fantastic bushcraft experiences for you to try, starting with a simple 1 hours sessions and working its way up to an exciting 4 hour adventure.

1 Hour Bushcraft Session (£30pp)

Focusing on basic den building and fire lighting. Perfect for families and couples wanting some time away from electricity with a taster for outdoor skills. Ferro rod fire lighting and either natural or man-made shelters. (Dependent on numbers and time restraints different fire lighting skills can be used)

4 Hour Bushcraft Session (£70pp)

Perfect for corporates, families and stags/hens. An afternoon of activities tailored towards team building and bringing groups together. Elements to include a mixture of Den Building, Fire Lighting, Nature Walks, Foraging and Whittling Basics.

You can also add on some of our most popular activities. Why not try your weapons on our target range or a bit of Quad Biking?

Something different for a day out with the loved one Loved the air rifle shooting but found out that the other half is a deadly sniper. Quad biking was a good experience the seesaw was much funner than the limbo. The most enthusiastic instructor award has gotta go to Sam thanks for the day out!

Extreme Quad biking I booked this experience for my partner birthday an when he was let down by his friends I had to step in but was extremely frightened as I haven't done quad biking before. Daz our instructor was great at reassuring me an ensuring I knew how to operate the bike. Daz was extremely patient and very reassuring with me. When Daz could see I was comfortable on the bike an had my bearings he pushed our skills to the next level making the course fun and exciting. It was by far one the best experiences I have had, I pulled up at the end with such an adrenaline rush wanting to do the course again. Thanks Daz for making our experience exciting and safe we be back.
