Fire by Friction - Level 3 NCFE Aligned

Embark on a journey to unlock the secrets of Fire by Friction in this interactive event. Engage in practical demonstrations and hands-on learning to ignite your passion for this traditional survival skill.

Travel back in time, and master one of the most essential skills of your forebears. We will take you on a firelighting journey, sparking your interest, and teaching you how to master the art of firelighting in all different ways.

Master modern techniques with modern tinders, before a lesson on the natural tinders that can be found all around us in our 1500 acre woodland.

You will be catching a spark that you have created using a traditional flint and steel, exploring scientific firelighting methods, and learn how to prepare a single log into pieces that you can then turn into fire.

Walk with us through the woodland, and gather the materials that you will need to make your very own bow and drill. We will teach you how to prepare the materials that you have gathered, so that you can create an ember and blow this into a flame. 

Come and join us to light your fire with possibly the hardest and most advanced methods of firelighting.

In our relaxed and comfortable roundhouse training centre, our instructors will be around for you to pick their brains for their years of knowledge.

This is a fully catered course meaning that we will provide you Saturday lunch and an evening meal, Sunday morning breakfast and a light snack before you travel home, Tea, coffee and snacks will be available throughout both days, but please feel free to bring your own bits and pieces with you.
