Central Somerset Outdoor Learning Partnership

Adult Training & Courses

We run courses aimed at adults and older teenagers as well as for families and unaccompanied children.

Adult only courses include weekend bow making, bushcraft and survival, cob building techniques, day courses in spoon carving,  natural dyes and weaving, basketry and woodland crafts. These courses are run with the help of specialist instructors.

All courses are run in a peaceful woodland setting at one of our sites, with shelter and compost toilet. There is an option to camp for those travelling from outside the local area.

More details about courses and their content can be found on the relevant pages. Dates of courses will be posted on the calendar.

You may also contact Martyn Huxter (Rural Skills Tutor) direct on 01458 446799.

We also aim to offer training for teachers and outdoor practitioners. In the past we have run workshops in general outside games and activities, story telling and courses to help deliver the curriculum outdoors; ‘Nature Inspired Creative Writing’ and ‘How to run your own Viking Day’.

Sucessful INSETS for School Federations have been run in collaboration with Bath Forest School.
