Wild Things

Wild Things, award winning forest school, nestled in a small wooded area in the heart of York's South Bank area, is an urban oasis for outdoor exploration.

Set in the grounds of Millthorpe School (just off Scarcroft Road) we immerse children in nature, encouraging them to play, learn, and take managed risks in the outdoors. From cooking up a storm in our mud kitchen to mastering real tools, building dens, pond dipping, bug hunting, and nature crafts, we offer a wide range of activities to develop a deep connection with nature.

But best of all we encourage child-led play and let children take the lead.  

Wild Things also runs outdoor events for adults - coming up are our seasonal wreath events.

Feedback from parents

“Emma has found the perfect balance between nurturing connection and fostering risky play and exploration, in a beautifully curated environment. I would recommend Wild Things Forest school to any parents/carers who are keen to experience the wonder of safe but fun adventures with their little ones, in a friendly and welcoming low-pressure setting."
