Stay and Play
Details
Our Stay and Play sessions are aimed at 0-6 year olds with attending adult, but siblings and Home Edders are always welcome too! We also love having childminders attending with their minded children; please look for our Childminder Tickets when booking.
These sessions are the perfect opportunity for the youngest members of our community to play on the Wild Meadow with their grown ups close by, swinging on rope swings, climbing in the Grey Willows, making ‘soup’ in the mud kitchen, pond-dipping for newts and paddling in the dyke.
They are also a lovely place for grown ups to meet families with similar values and to have a natter with a cup of tea around the fire!
Sessions typically start and end around the fire circle, with the rest of the time being very child-led. We love to put out play invitations for the children, cook food together on the fire and enjoy the opportunity to relax in nature.

Instructions
Each person will need to bring:
Suitable clothing: This should be weather and season appropriate. Thick trousers and long sleeves to protect against nettles and insect bites, waterproof jacket and trousers, an extra fleece or jumper, sturdy closed-toe shoes such as trainers or walking boots. A sunhat and suitable sun protection is recommended in summer, and snow boots and thermals in winter. A zipped bag to keep everything tidy is useful, as is a change of clothing in case they get wet (including socks).
You are very welcome to bring food and drink. We have a NO NUTS policy and ask you to take all packaging away with you to re-use or recycle where possible.
We often prepare food on the fire, so bringing your own cup, plate and cutlery is useful.
