FAQs 📍Where do we meet? Just outside the entrance of the visitor centre. 🥾What should we wear? Most of our events are fully outdoors and you need to come dressed for the weather. We recommend layers (top and bottom) which can get mucky. Wellies (with thick socks) and waterproofs are a good shout if you have them. 🔥What should we bring? Is food provided? Weather permitting we will have a campfire at the end of the session. You are welcome to bring something to toast. Ideas include: crumpets, little malt loaves, toasting tea cakes, sweet waffles, brioche, fruit, e.g. pineapple/mango. Anything you can warm through on a stick really – we provide toasting forks.
