Bushcraft
|
|
|
Every summer NMC holds a range of outdoor activities as part of Bushcraft season. Think outdoor cooking, orienteering, fire-making, and wildlife exploring. It's a great opportunity to build relationships, learn new skills and enjoy adventures in the great outdoors. More recently, Bushcraft has soared to new heights by joining forces with Cheshire Falconry. We've had gorgeous owls visit the centre and the group were also able to visit Blakemere Village to help train birds of prey. Not an opportunity to be missed in the future. Get in touch with us to find out more.

Those who have attended this workshop reported they enjoyed the opportunity to play music and the experience of playing a drum, describing the workshop as fun, therapeutic and a good work out too.
