Bushcraft & Wilderness Skill Courses in Derbyshire & Peak District
Relaxed & Friendly Bushcraft, Wilderness & Survival Skills Courses
Based in and around the fantastic Peak District National Park and within easy travel distance of Manchester, Sheffield and Birmingham we offer Bushcraft, wilderness and survival skills courses in a friendly relaxed environment to enable you to learn the skills you want. We have several standard courses for adults or families but also offer private skills courses which can be tuned to your personal requirements.
If your company is in need of a team building / development day or maybe a stag, hen or birthday party then we can also cover that. We can provide schools with curriculum linked outdoor activities suitable for KS2, 3 & 4.
Take a look at our courses page or if you would like to learn a specific skill or two then get in touch and let’s see what we can arrange. We could even come to your site if that’s more convenient.
Our base is between Bakewell and Matlock but we are also happy to travel to you to deliver courses at your site be it a field, school, woodland or carpark! If you have some outdoor space we can work with it.
Gift Vouchers are available for all our courses or for an amount, an ideal Christmas Present :-)
Have a look at the course you are interested in or drop us an enquiry :-)
