Were inviting you to slow down, unwind and spend time outdoors with likeminded souls, as the sun sets lazily over the Derwent valley...

As the sun sets and our animals settle for the evening, we'll gather around the campfire for marshmallows, herbal teas, meaningful conversation, and peaceful reflection.

🌿 Open sharing circle (or simply listen in silence)

Sometimes the simplest things in nature like acorns, leaves, or pine cones make the best craft materials for the little ones who attend sessions with us. A tiny pine cone can spark big creativity!

What natural treasures have your little ones crafted with?

Horses have an amazing ability to mirror human emotions. They can sense when you’re calm, anxious, or stressed. This makes them excellent partners for learning including emotional awareness, patience, and communication.

Our equine-assisted learning (EAL) programs use horses to help people develop soft skills like leadership, empathy, teamwork, and self-confidence. Since horses respond immediately to your energy and behaviour, you get instant feedback, which makes lessons very tangible and memorable.

✨ Join us Wednesday 1st July, from 7pm–8.30pm for an Evening Soundbath with the Herd. ✨

Lunar Moon Tranquil Sounds will be joining us to deliver a deeply relaxing soundbath surrounded by our gentle herd of horses.

Allow the soothing sounds, peaceful surroundings, and calming presence of the horses to help you unwind, reduce stress, and reconnect with yourself. It's the perfect opportunity to escape the busyness of everyday life and enjoy a moment of tranquillity in nature.

🌿 Deep relaxation and mindfulness
🐴 Time spent amongst the herd
☕ Hot drinks provided

Some blankets and cushions will be available, but please bring a yoga mat, blanket, or anything else that will help you relax in comfort.

Spaces are limited, so book your place today.

Did you know we run a Home Education Community session every other Wednesday from 10am–12pm?

We’d love for homeschooling families to join us for a relaxed and welcoming opportunity to connect, explore, and learn together outdoors.

During the session, children can enjoy:
• Outdoor play and games
• Nature-inspired crafts
• Time with our animals
• Bushcraft activities including fire cooking and whittling

As an approved AQA provider, we can also offer short unit certificates for an additional charge, just speak to our team to find out more.

Parental supervision is required throughout the session.

Cost: £2.50 per child to help cover snacks and materials.

Come along, make new connections, and enjoy learning in the great outdoors
