Christmas Stay and Play in the Woods with INDIGO FOREST SCHOOL

Indigo Forest School opens its woodland for a series of enchanting Christmas Stay & Play sessions. These gentle winter mornings are slow, imaginative, and wrapped in the quiet magic of the forest. Children are free to follow their curiosity as the woodland invites them to explore, build, create, and connect with the land in its winter cloak.

Our Christmas sessions are for everyone, children and adults alike. We shape each gathering around those who join us, with age-appropriate, festive woodland invitations that may include Christmas crafts, woodland drumming, simple tool work, fire lighting and cooking over the flames, seasonal foraging walks, rope work, woodland games, and winter treasure hunts.

There is plenty of space for free exploration and imaginative play, guided by our child-led approach. Throughout the morning, we also weave in moments of calm and togetherness through gentle breathwork, quiet reflection by the fire, simple forest yoga, and seasonal land art inspired by the spirit of winter.

These Christmas Stay & Play sessions are designed to feel warm, welcoming, and unhurried, a place where families can slow down, gather, and let the forest hold them. Come as you are, wrap up warm, and give your little one the freedom to roam, imagine, and settle into the soft rhythm of the woods.

Families who attend our weekend sessions will also be added to our waiting list for upcoming termly Forest School programmes, giving you early access when our weekly classes open.
