Gorcott Hill is our flagship site for children and young people with a brand new purpose built education centre opened in 2024 on the doorstep of Redditch.
The site includes 56 acres of mature woodland, grassland areas for play and a pond dipping platform. The diversity of plants and animals on site is exceptional, with carpets of bluebells in the Spring and a wide range of fungi to spot in the autumn so there is always something new to discover and learn about.
The fully heated and air conditioned indoor classroom is fully stocked with art and craft materials and means sessions at Gorcott Hill can run all year round in all weathers.

Mini Foresters is our monthly club in the Forest where children can enjoy activities in one of our wonderful woodland spaces. Each month the activities will focus on what is happening in the Forest and will change with the seasons. Come and join us for fires, dens, arts and crafts, tool use, bushcraft skills, wildlife, toasted marshmallows and more. Please note: Bookings close 4 days before each session so book early to avoid disappointment. The group is intended for families with children between the ages 4-11 and runs on the first Saturday of every month all year round.
