I first attended Woodland Pioneers way back in 2006 and have found a way to attend every one since then! Last year I helped to bake the bread! I highly recommend you attend this event. The people are so lovely and everyone seems to have a great time by being creative, working outside, meeting new people and eating amazing and wholesome food!

Brilliant week!
I’ve been going for the last two years now and it’s always a big group of friendly people who love nature and making.
The tutors are experts, the food is great and the evenings are always fun. You’ll come away inspired!

Great organisation. Pioneers tutors, very welcoming to new people, and the organisation are supportive if you have any concerns or problems. Can’t beat getting outside and learning/making something.

Great week. Massively enjoyed it. Learnt a lot. People very friendly. Lovely community feel. Very reasonably priced. Evening events were very good. Food was excellent and fresh everyday. I paid for breakfast and it was worth it. Always veggie. Suitable for all ages. If you’re interested in this field, you will not be disappointed and it will be well worth it.
