Butser Bushcraft - Kids Easter Camp

Do something different this Easter!

Find out if you have what it takes to survive in a time before Minecraft.  Step out into nature at Butser Ancient Farm this Summer – where you will craft objects, acquire new skills and overcome challenges while working alongside others.

Based in an ancient setting, experience the past in a completely new way and learn whether you have what it takes to survive or to thrive in the natural world.

Happening Tues 7th – Fri 10th April.

More information

What should my child wear?

Something practical! Flat shoes, plenty of layers if it’s cold, wet weather gear if it’s rainy, and clothes you don’t mind risking getting a little mucky. This workshop will likely be held both inside and outside, except in the case of extreme weather.

Should I bring anything to the day camp?

Your child will need to bring a packed lunch with them. They may also want to bring a change of clothes.

Is there parking?

Yes! We have plenty of free and accessible parking. If you’re worried about accessibility, please email hello@butserancientfarm.co.uk for advice.

Where should I go on the day?

Just head to the entrance kiosk and show us your ticket as normal. We’ll help with where to go after that!
