Forest Fun Parties - Farnham

20/01/2022

It is with great sadness that I have decided to stop running Forest Fun birthday parties. Over the last nine years we have entertained over 3000 children at the beautiful Tilford Nature Reserve, still one of my favourite places to hang out. I feel very privileged to have spent so much time there and want to thank the wonderful team that have worked so hard and supported me. Vicki Gostage, Ali Welch, Charlie Stidston, Carolyn Stidston, Lucy Napier and Ruth Gardner. I’m so very grateful. The summer holiday club will continue - dates to be confirmed! Thank you to all the families who have booked Forest Fun over the years, we have always enjoyed the parties and will miss them. All the best. Zoe x

The party season has begun! And I am so glad that the parties were yesterday and not today as I sit here looking out at the trees being blown around by the howling wind and pouring rain. What lovely parties they were too so happy birthday Oliver and Swayze and I hope you and your friends had as much fun as we did. If you're thinking of booking a Forest Fun party, June is already full so it's worth making a request sooner rather than later. Zoe x

Happy New Year - although it already feels a long time ago despite New Year's Eve only being a couple of weeks ago! Just to let you know that bookings for parties are beginning to come in thick and fast and I already have a confirmed party in May so it is never too soon to get your children's party in the diary. The site is already booked by two other groups for June as well so parties might be limited around then so please don't miss out. If you are interested, please email me on [email protected]. Best wishes. Zoe

I've booked my first party for 2018 which is great news! The last after school clubs are next week then a break for Christmas. Just a reminder that Forest Fun parties run from about the beginning of March until around the end of October so if you are interested, it would be worth enquiring sooner rather than later. I have been so busy this year that quite a few people missed out so don't let that be you! In the meantime, thank you to everyone for their support. All the best. Zoe

Maths was never my strong point - I meant Forest Fun is full for 2017 not 2018!!!

Forest Fun Parties has no more spaces for 2018 unfortunately. Thank you to everyone for their support and for booking us - it has been the busiest year ever and I have had to turn down more parties than I have actually run so I apologise to those people who were disappointed. I am looking forward to the confirmed parties we have coming up this autumn and hope for as much success in 2019! Best wishes Zoe

It's been a busy couple of weekends - four parties and all were great fun! We got rained on a bit yesterday but it didn't dampen the enthusiasm! Happy birthday Oliver, Poppy, Lewis and Dexter. I am now full until September and only have space for a few more parties in the Autumn so if you know someone who is thinking about September or October, please tell them to get in touch asap! I'm absolutely thrilled by how busy I am and thank everyone who has booked with Forest Fun this year.

So, Saturday was the first ever properly wet party we have run - not bad in three years - although even then, we did have a few dry spells! 15 x 4/5 year olds (with a couple of older ones) had great fun though, and we managed to keep the fire going which was a huge bonus. Thank goodness for the lovely weather on Sunday that meant I could dry everything out!! Happy birthday Annie and thank you for booking with us Charlotte and Ian.

Three years ago this weekend Forest Fun ran it's first birthday parties on a glorious hot, sunny day. Happy 8th birthday Pip, Cameron and Beck - my first birthday children.

First party of the year on Sunday which I was very concerned about - because of the weather! I checked the forecast on Saturday evening and it said solid rain from 6am-1pm (the party was from 10-1). When I woke up on Sunday morning, the weather forecast had changed and we in fact only got one light shower in the whole three hours! Looking forward to spring arriving properly though. Happy birthday Finlay. We had a great time and hope you and your friends did too.

It's been a while since I posted - sorry! Parties are booking well with the first party of the year on 5 March, and other parties booking right up to the middle of June so if you are thinking of a party for your child, or know someone who may be interested, do get in touch. I have 20 children in the after school club at All Saints School across two days which is always lively and great fun! Despite the cold, we have made puppets and put on a shadow puppet show, made hobby horses, and cooked yummy puff pastry over the fire. More fun coming up!!

This weekend ranger Steve had the unenviable duty of dealing with 2 deer fatalities on the A287 through the Common. It’s worth remembering that at this time of year deer move around quite a lot as they enter their breeding season. Please take extra care whilst travelling on rural roads.

Please note that the Forest Fun office is now closed until 27 August when all enquiries will be answered. Happy days!!!

So last week, Vicki and I ran two days for the Tilford Environmental Playscheme. Wednesday was woodland craft - sawing and drilling to make snails, medals/necklaces as well as whittling, building dens and the now traditional bow and arrow competition! Friday was cooking on the fire so we made nettle soup (which all 35 children tried and most liked!), nettle crisps (likewise), bread and of course 'smores! More bow and arrows, den building and whittling along with some hapa zome - flowers, herbs and leaves bashed with a mallet between material to make lovely pictures that also smelt lovely!!! Both days were really fun!

I saw this on the news the other day and thought it was fantastic!

It’s official – the almighty stick is the hero of outdoor play and adventure! But don’t just take our word for it, check out the poem, which wordsmith, chart...

Two lovely parties on Sunday - great kids, lovely weather, helpful and appreciative parents. Perfect! Over 500 children have now been to a Forest Fun party which is amazing! Looking forward to the next 500.
