Where You Will Stay
During the hen do or stag party, you’ll be staying in luxury yurts and cabins within the secret enchanted woodland of our East Grinstead based site. On arrival, your group will be welcomed and then taken through the Forest Garden, (a highly effective ecological system of growing mostly edible plants within the seven canopy layers), to our beautiful regenerating woodland amidst woodspurge bluebells and orchids where the yurts and log cabins await. The hen/stag do accommodation is equipped with everything you should need to cook and sleep comfortably. Each of the yurts and cabins are located between 50-150m from the loos/showers and washing up area. There is opportunity for your group to cook under the stars in the large open fire pit or BBQ, or get served delicious breakfasts and tea parties at the Forest Garden café - whichever you’d prefer!
Activities
There are many short courses that can be arranged to make your hen party and stag do as special and memorable as possible.
Activities include classes such as green woodworking, making candles or beauty products from beeswax, woodland yoga, African drumming circle in a yurt, or an outdoor massage surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature - just to name a few!
