Forest School on Kinver Edge

Let Flat Pack Forest School invite you into their own secluded corner of woodland on Kinver Edge to experience life, the outdoors way. You will have the opportunity to build shelters, used tools both modern and ancient, use traditional methods to create fire (and cook yummy treats), learn a little about our ancient past and how it can guide our future, and most importantly have a load of fun.

Check dates and times on our Events Page.

Miles of countryside to explore

Set off on your own outdoors adventure across Kinver Edge. There's some steep climbs but plenty of stunning views as your reward. Look out for some natural play areas in the woods. Walk along the tree stump steps or build your very own woodland hideout out of fallen branches. Try out our trails on your bike too. Whizz along the paths and enjoy the views.
