Wakey wakey! The blue bells have rung. Spring time is here! Time to wake up!

Wakey wakey! The blue bells have rung. Spring time is here! Time to wake up!

Spring has sprung and the fairies are waking up

Will you:

Try the 3 bears porridge?

Retrieve 3 blind mice and a flower fairy?

Reunite the Big Bad Wolf with his Granny?

Climb a hill with Jack and Jill?

Blow a frog a kiss and turn him into a prince?

Courtesy and bow for the King and Queen?

Meet a fire breathing dragon?

WE ARE GOING ON A BEAR HUNT!

Who let the bears out?

COME WITH US at Fairy Forest School into the great outdoors for our Appleton Forest School BEAR HUNT. 10:00am MONDAY 2nd MARCH @ Dingle Lane Bridge (WA4 5NB).

Before we embark on our epic search we'll be coppicing some hazel to make your very own walking stick. 

Then we'll go looking in a deep dark forest,crossing rivers and thick oozy mud in search of our paw bears that have wandered off looking for porridge and got lost! Only you can help find them!

Even if the weather is Grizzly we'll still be going. So wrap up warm, in wellies and waterproofs! 

Then with our bears rescued why not stay for our TEDDY BEARS PICNIC next to a warm campfire protected from the elements. We'll be feeding our furry friends campfire pan fried sizzling  sausages. Bring a packed lunch or if you prefer tuck in for a complimentary hot dog and drink made to order.

PRICE £10 per child for two hours of outdoor forest fun followed by our TEDDY BEAR PICNIC with food/drink included. Let us know you're coming as spaces are limited.
