Our first summer activity went well with 20 people turning up to build the den. They chose a willow as the foundation tree and foraged for large branches and twigs around the wilderness. We pruned some trees so that we had some leaves to fill in the gaps and when completed 10 kids got into it! Unfortunately it didn’t quite pass the waterproof test and the occupants got a bit wet when a bucket of water was thrown over it. However its a very smart den and now a permanent feature of the Wild Cat Wilderness. Well done!

We are pleased to launch our programme of free, fun, outdoor activities and open days during the summer holidays for all ages. Most of them are in the afternoon and you can drop in anytime but sign up on the events page as spaces for some are limited. Check out our events page for full details.

Starting in August we also have a volunteer day every Thursday afternoon and the last Saturday of the month 1.30 – 5pm. Help shape this wonderful space. Come and be wild.

What a fab day we had on Sunday 7th June when we hosted our first Big Lunch picnic at the wildcat wilderness. We had over 50 people come and share food and laughter and not forgetting the sun. Think we will make this an annual event now.

We are hosting this annual lunch at the Wilderness on Sunday 7^th June 12-4pm

Just bring some food to share – salads, nibbles, tarts, pies, cakes etc

We will be cooking some food on the open fire

Plus games and activities for everyone

Lunch from 12.30pm so come anytime and stay as long as you like.

All welcome. Let us know you are coming by booking on our events page.

As part of the Big Dig, we have dug a hole and put a bath in it. This may not sound very sensible, but it is in fact the modern way to create ponds.

We had a fab day building a few benches and tables
