School in the Forest is pleased to announce that we will be running a Holiday Club for the 3 days of the June Holidays.
If you are looking for childcare for your children while you go out to work the School in the Forest may be able to help.
School in the Forest has broken the mould slightly with its Holiday Club and we are proud to do so. We are committed to giving children the best experiences possible and we feel that more of these are had outside in the GREAT outdoors rather than stuck inside in front of a games console and that is what we offer the children who attend our Holiday Club.

Registration starts at 9am and activities run from 10am until 4pm.
Due to popular demand from children who were not old enough to attend the Nature Detectives day on the 6th April we have decided to run a Junior Nature Detectives Activity Day.
The age range for this activity day is up to the discretion of parents but would be ideal for children who are 3–7 years old.
This day will run slightly differently from the Nature Detectives day as parents will have to do the activities along with the children.
So for all of those junior adventurers who like the GREAT outdoors and love getting close up to wildlife then this is their chance.

To all the living in the lands of the chantry and wardenship of what is now called Saint Michael the archangel, that what used to be called Saint Mary’s, that of the parish church of Winterbourne Manorial estate, and including the good people of the Greater Bristol area and all other lands surrounding this, even that which is beyond the seas: The Winterbourne Medieval Barn activities Group, along with The Company of Chivalry, requests your attendance to the “Annual Winterbourne Medieval Fayre” and there to make merriment.
Yet again we are fortunate enough to be entertained by “The Company of Chivalry”, who re-enact the time of the then King Edward 3rd, and one of his sons, John of Gaunt, of which Lord Thomas Hungerford was a vassal.
It is hoped that my Lord and Lady de Bradeston will be able to attend the Medieval Fayre this year, if he is not away... Read more >>
