LATE CANCELATION NEWS. Tree Nippers and Forest Hom

LATE CANCELATION NEWS.
Tree Nippers and Forest Home Ed

Good morning folks. The snow has caused some problems through the night. We have had to close the tipis and drop the stretch tents to avoid collapse due to snow retention.
We have been busy throughout the twilight hours beating the snow from the deconstructed canvases, in an attempt to stay open.

The tents and us survived it, you will be pleased to know. The reconstruction and making safe is unfortunately going to impact on today's sessions.
It is with a heavy heart, that we have to cancel. We will refund everyone in due course.
Sorry friends 😔

A school asked us for some examples of what we have done recently. These are just a few images of structures and Artworks from areas in schools/ nurseries/ family hubs, that once were muddy fields, hillsides, concrete car parks, brick walls, shipping containers, litter filled corners and generally unused places.

Sorry for the essay, lots to take in.
Before we begin, please know we love you guys and are looking forward to what the future holds 🫶

This Green Moon turned 10 years of age in July of 2024, I know, hard to believe!
Here's some big 10th year Anniversary news...

We have purchased a wonderful swaithe of countryside made up of grasslands, streams and established woodlands, not too far away. This is incredibly exciting for us all (you guys included). We are not going to replicate This Green Moon but we will be keeping the heart and the ethos and hopefully develop ideas that are based around smaller groups and family escapes.
This Green Moon at Swillington will not change and the site will continue to prosper and develop, offering all the lovely stuff we always have.

Christmas events at Swillington will look different this year. We are opening up bookings for our fabulous Christmas Pantomime 'Beauty and the Beast' with the amazing IKP steering the trusty ship. There will be 9 shows this year running 20th/21st/22nd December. (***Tickets coming this evening***)

We hope you can understand our decision to pause 'Forest full of Christmas Secrets' this year. The trail takes every bit of headspace, energy, resources, staff and family time. These are all the things that we have to direct into the new land.
Not running the trail is one of the hardest decisions we have ever had to make. We know how much joy it brings. It will be back! Bigger and better next year, we promise 💚

Just to remind you all. It is you, your families and your support that inspires us to create the loveliness.
Thank you and we will keep you all up to date 💚🌳🔥🙏

Exciting times ahead xx

Paul, Ash and the team
