Here at Acorn Hollow we love nature-filled adventures and immersing yourself in the natural world; inspiring wonder and connection with the world around us.
Through a forest school programme of activities, age group sessions, holiday clubs, workshops and schools visits we offer a unique nature, farm and forest-based learning opportunity.
Nature-based outdoor learning in the Yorkshire Wolds
Nestled in Goodmanham Dale we offer a beautiful place for explorers young and old to join us in a forest school environment to foster wonder, enthusiasm, curiosity and connection with nature - letting imaginations run wild and heads have the space and freedom being outdoors brings us.
Nature walks, foraging, lighting camp fires, outdoor cooking, exploration, games, creativity, tasty treats and campfire hot chocolate, making nature-inspired masterpieces, learning woodland skills and crafts, building dens, farm and sustainability education……. And that’s just the start!
Learn more about the sessions and activites we have on offer and the work we do with schools and groups.
What will You do?
“May you always keep
an acorn, stone or feather
in your pocket….
a little treasure just within
reach to remind you
of your wild.”
