Forest Friends
Forest Friends is a new forest school-inspired sensory workshop designed for children under 5 with their parents/carers, where stories come to life in a magical outdoor setting. These all-weather, outdoor sessions will be inspired by favourite children’s stories and seasonal themes exploring the creative and practical use of tools and natural materials. Be dressed and ready for muddy play, sitting around a campfire and enjoying handmade toasty treats!
• Each session of Forest Friends will be led by local forest school leader and creative practitioner, Elise Wilson, with support from our learning facilitator and resident artist, Mae Voogd.
• Following each session, you are invited to warm up in the museum café which provides a selection of hot drinks and food!
• For attendees it is free to park in the Porthcurno Car Park.
