Bushcraft Weekend Experience

July 30, 2027 @ 6:00 pm - August 1, 2027 @ 11:00 am
£289.00

🌲 Welcome to the Ultimate Bushcraft Weekend Experience

No previous bushcraft or camping experience required. Whether you’re completely new to the outdoors or already have a few wilderness skills under your belt, our Bushcraft Weekend is designed to give you an unforgettable experience in the wild.

Set in the breathtaking Yorkshire Dales National Park, close to the picturesque village of Grassington, this is more than just a weekend away. It’s an opportunity to switch off, reconnect with nature, learn practical wilderness skills and experience the outdoors in a completely different way.

🔥 Your Adventure Begins – Friday Evening

Arrive from 6:00pm on Friday and we’ll get you settled around the campfire, with a freshly prepared campfire meal waiting for you.

Once you’ve arrived, it’s time to slow down, breathe in the woodland air and leave everyday life behind.

You can choose how you spend your first night. Sleep comfortably in one of our hammock and tarp systems, or take things a step further and, on Saturday, build your own woodland shelter and spend the night in something you’ve created yourself.

🌿 Saturday – Learn, Build & Thrive

Saturday is all about getting hands-on.

Our experienced instructors will introduce you to the fundamental principles of bushcraft, wilderness living and outdoor safety before taking you through a full day of practical skills and experiences.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

  • 🔥 Master traditional and modern firecraft techniques
  • 🏕️ Learn primitive and advanced shelter building
  • 🍞 Learn wilderness baking, including breads and sweet treats
  • 🍳 Develop practical wilderness cookery skills
  • 🎣 Take part in guided fishing
  • 💧 Learn how to collect and filter water in the wild
  • 🌿 Discover the basics of wild food and foraging
  • 🪢 Master essential knots, lines and woodland skills
  • 🪵 Create and work with natural materials
  • 🌲 Build confidence living and working in a woodland environment

We’ll also head to a nearby lake for some guided fishing, with the aim of catching part of our evening meal.

Don’t fish? No problem. Vegetarian and vegan options are provided, so everyone can enjoy the evening meal.

Then it’s back to camp, where we’ll gather around the fire, enjoy a hearty supper and spend the evening relaxing beneath the woodland canopy.

🌅 Sunday – Slow Down & Learn Something New

Sunday morning is relaxed and informal.

After a delicious campfire breakfast, we’ll explore one of the most important wilderness skills of all – finding, collecting and filtering water safely in the wild.

It’s a practical skill that could one day make all the difference.

We’ll finish the weekend just before lunchtime, leaving you with new skills, new experiences, great memories and, hopefully, a completely different connection with the natural world.
