Our All for Play team is back with our Autumn Saturday Sessions, taking place in the beautiful grounds of The Good Shepherd Centre, with the added benefit of an indoor space to warm up!
All for Play, a programme of outdoor play and forest school sessions, is part of Keighley Big Local, an initiative to make the Keighley Big Local areas of Riddlesden, Stockbridge, Thwaites, Parkwood, Hainworth and Red Holt a great place to live work and play!
Due to increasing costs and funding coming to a close, we have had to make the difficult decision to increase the price for participants , as a way to sustain the forest schools beyond the Big Local Funding. These funded sessions are aimed at families living in the Keighley area.

Back for February! After the success of our taster sessions at Bowling and Peel Park, we are delighted to be running Holiday Forest School at Peel Park. Places are limited, so must be booked in advance to attend. These are sessions for children only, so children are dropped off at Peel at 10:00AM then picked up at Peel Park at 2:00PM.
Forest school gives children aged between 5 and 11+ years the opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy nature with friends whilst building resilience, learning new skills and exploring on their own terms. There are so many activities to choose from including whittling, games, den building, tree climbing and crafts, to name just a few.
The programme will be led by experienced and qualified practitioners who will bring lots of ideas to go with the children’s own for playing, building and creating with natural resources in the woods.
