what to expect
At Sussex Forest Activities, we believe outdoor play is key to personal growth. Our forest activity days are designed to be fun and educational for kids aged 5-12, with special sessions for younger children (0-5 years) family-friendly, and adult events. It's a great way to spend time together, learn new skills, and enjoy nature!

Our activities go beyond fun—they help kids grow socially, physically, and mentally.
Here’s what makes our days special:
-
Teamwork: Kids work together on challenges like building dens and playing group games.
-
Confidence: Activities like fire lighting and tool use encourage participants to step out of their comfort zones and build self-esteem.

Problem Solving: From fire cooking to creating art, learn to think creatively and critically.

The preparing of food, cooking and communal eating is really important to us at Sussex Forest Activities. Apart from teaching the children valuable life skills, eating together is a wonderfully social experience. However, we know just how important it is for the children and us to follow safe food practices. For this reason we are a registered food providing company and are delighted to have been awarded a five star rating.
