Adult Workshops at Glasgow Forest School
Our vibe here is that being outdoors is for everyone - playing, making, slowing down and connecting with nature is good for us at every age.
At Glasgow Forest School, we create relaxed, welcoming workshops for adults who want to step outside, learn traditional nature-based crafts, and enjoy time well spent in green spaces.
With years of experience facilitating outdoor learning, our aim is simple: to help you genuinely feel the benefits of being in nature.
What we offer
Throughout the year we run a programme of group workshops for adults in Glasgow’s city woodlands. These sessions are advertised on our events page.
All of our workshops can be booked as private or bespoke sessions - perfect if you have a group and a date in mind.
Private workshops work beautifully for:
Community groups
Team days and workplace wellbeing
Zen-hen dos
Birthday celebrations
Or simply a group of pals looking for a great excuse to try something new together
Sessions can be delivered as a half-day workshop or expanded into a full-day woodland wellbeing experience.
