Sensory Trust activities
The Sensory Trust will be offering a range of immersive, sensory, and reflective activities designed to help people connect with nature.
These sessions are likely to take place on a Wednesday.
Activites will blend exploration, mindfulness, social interaction, and environmental education.
The programme focuses on key themes, including plants, birds, invertebrates, trees and soil, water, and human connections.

What is the site like?
The ‘base camp’ site area is close to a hard-surfaced path but sits on an area of long grass, which can get boggy after heavy rain. Some activities will take place around the camp area, and a shelter will be used in bad weather.
Other activities will take place away from the camp and will involve crossing grassy stretches which can also be muddy after rain. The pond area is accessible via a gate onto a flat platform. While our stream area has a step down, you can still take place in many of the activities from the flat platform.
All of the equipment needed for interacting with nature will be provided. You just need to wear comfortable shoes and clothing for walking, bending, and stretching - which might also get a little muddy.
