Escape from the stress of life and take some time to unwind and connect with nature. Join us for ‘Woods for Wellbeing’ sessions in the beautiful setting of Rowntree Park’s woods. The next sessions now available to book are:
Friday 22nd of November 2019 – 12.30-2pm
Saturday 14th of December 2019 – 10.30-12pm
Join us a learn a new skill and craft at your own pace. There will definitely be some Autumnal and festive needle felting involved in these sessions. Other sessions may include one or some of the following – whittling, willow weaving, basic bushcrafts and a campfire fire.
The session will allow time for you to learn new crafts, connect with the natural environment and to feel more comfortable enjoying time in the woods. Also the opportunity to meet like-minded people, or opt to spend time by yourself.
Take some breathing space, connect with nature and learn new skills, and return home feeling refreshed and replenished.
Sessions are designed for women, and those who identify as women, aged 16 upwards. We also welcome non-binary individuals who would enjoy the support of a women’s group.
Our sessions are run by our volunteer Christine, who describes herself as a ‘hobbycrafter’ and is also forest school trained. The cost of the session a £12 for members and £15 for non-member, and includes a hot drink made outside in the woods. Any profit goes back into our volunteer work in the park.
If you are not already a member – you can join for just £5 a year. As as well as helping our work in the park, you also get a discount to our events and 10% off in the cafe all year.

You do not need to have attended a previous session to book onto a session. Previous attendees are very welcome as each session has a different theme – it would be great to see some familiar faces as well as new people.
The Friends of Rowntree Park are a group of volunteers who look after the park and provide events for the community. We are all volunteers and care about our park and community. We welcome feedback on all our events to help us to improve and continue to meet your needs.
