Bushcraft Weekend Course in Gloucestershire

Two Days,

One Woodland,

Skills That Last a Lifetime.

​Our Bushcraft Weekend  is designed for anyone who wants to develop genuine outdoor skills in a relaxed, friendly environment. Whether you're completely new to bushcraft or looking to build on existing experience, you'll spend two days learning practical skills that will give you the confidence to live comfortably in the outdoors.

​

This is real bushcraft, learning to work with nature, not simply survive it.

With expert instruction, small group sizes and plenty of hands-on practice, you'll leave with practical knowledge, lasting confidence and memories you'll never forget.
