Bushcraft
Lesnes Abbey has 88 hectares of woodland which means it is perfectly placed for bushcraft activities.
We can offer the activity of den building, which is great for developing teamwork skills, experimenting with different materials building resilience, and confidence.
Den Building
Taken deep into the woods your group will need to ’survive’ by building their own dens using the natural materials available along with tarpaulins, ropes, tent pegs and mallets. Dens are tested for waterproofness using buckets of water.
Length of Workshop: 1 1/2 hours.
Maximum group size: 30 for den building
Availability: All year round
