Discover a World of Outdoor Adventures for Children
At Ambleford, we believe the best childhood memories are made outside — climbing, creating, exploring, and imagining. Our wide range of children’s activities gives every young adventurer the chance to connect with nature, build new skills, and make lasting friendships.
From action-packed holiday clubs filled with den building, bushcraft, animal care, and campfire cooking, to gentle Briarlings sessions for our youngest explorers, there’s something for every age and personality. We also host seasonal celebrations, special themed days, and unique one-off experiences that turn a regular day outdoors into a magical adventure.
Come and join us — the outdoors is waiting.


The Nature, Land & Animal Care Pathway is a practical, term-time, outdoor-based learning programme for young people aged 12–16.
It is three separate qualifications delivered in one full day per week over an academic year, the course combines meaningful hands-on experience with nationally recognised Entry Level 3 Open Awards qualifications.

Set amidst the stunning backdrop of ancient woodland, our Forest & Farm School sessions are the perfect blend of learning, adventure, and creativity.
Aimed at home educated children and those who are able to negotiate time away from mainstream school, these weekly sessions engage children in a range of activities including tool use, learning traditional rural crafts, animal husbandry, permaculture and conservation, art and music.

For children, Briarlings is a world of wonder—of climbing, building, and imagining. For parents, it’s a place to slow down, breathe in the fresh air, and watch your child flourish in the freedom of unstructured play. Together, we embrace the rhythms of the seasons, celebrating the simple joys of life in harmony with nature.

Consistently rated ★★★★★ on Google, our parties are known for being something genuinely different — and genuinely special.
While other parties rush children from one activity to the next, ours slow things down and let the magic happen naturally. Set in our beautiful smallholding, children are free to explore, build, light fires, meet animals, and play imaginatively with their friends in a way that feels calm, exciting, and deeply memorable.
Parents regularly tell us these are the best parties they’ve ever booked — not because they’re loud or flashy, but because the children are happy, engaged, and completely themselves.
These aren’t just parties; they’re the kind of birthdays that become treasured childhood memories.
