On arrival, you'll be welcomed with an offer of a hot drink while you and your little one(s) get settled on your blanket under the tree canopy. Sessions begin by coming together to listen to the stories, a carefully selected children's picture book, followed by nature activities and free play.
The group is aimed at all pre-school-age children (under 5s) to attend with their parent/carer.
Just bring a ground sheet/ blanket, your own snacks and weather-appropriate clothing.
Please note that we have a no phone/ photography policy- to protect our children and to keep us fully present- and that we are all responsible for our own children at all times.
Booking opens 6 days before each session.
PRE-BOOKED PLACES ONLY.
Great Stories
We choose our books very carefully to ensure inclusion, diversity and to promote a love of nature. If you have a favourite children's story to share, please do get in touch.
Outdoor Nature Play
All our sessions feature invitations to play and nature-based activities, helping us to connect more closely with our environment and each other. There is also lots of time and space for child-led free play.
Woodland Library
Whenever the weather is dry, we bring along our ever-popular Woodland Library, full of wonderful stories and non-fiction nature books. Children love to browse and select their favourites and then cuddle up with their family to enjoy.
For the Grown Ups too
A warm welcome awaits you when you arrive at 'Books in the Woods', with an offer of a hot drink, brought to your picnic blanket, in a beautiful outdoor setting, all included in the £3 contribution per family.
Join the Community
If you'd like to get involved with the group, perhaps as a reader, a story teller, social media admin, or by suggesting a nature-based activity, please do not hesitate to contact one of our moderators of this group. We're always looking to increase our team of parent-volunteers and to connect with our community.
