Some of the incredible people helping to shape, build and deliver the very first Forest School Show — coming to Walesby Forest, Nottinghamshire, from 10am–5pm on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th September 2026.

Created by the community, for the community, the Forest School Show is a gathering for everyone passionate about outdoor learning, nature connection, bushcraft, play, wellbeing and woodland culture.

This weekend, many of us were at the East Midlands FEN - Forest Education Network (Forest Education Network) Skills Festival, delivering CPD workshops, sharing skills, learning from others, and sharing valuable time together outdoors — exactly the spirit we intend the show will embody.

Tickets for The Forest School Show will be available from Friday 29th May 2026.

Pictured left to right:
Mark Clarke — Show Director
Bracken Van Ryssen — Fire, Food & Cooking Village Manager
Claire Brace AKA The Forest School Queen — Stage Manager & MC, The Meeting House
The legend that is Mr Dave Watson — Bushcraft Village Manager

Whether you’re an experienced practitioner, trainee, educator, parent, crafter, woodland wanderer or simply curious about Forest School, you’ll receive a very warm welcome.

We cannot wait to gather around the fire with you all. See you soon

Mark, Bracken, Claire and Dave

We feel it is about time we started sharing some of the amazing plans for the all new, The Forest School Show. So what better way to introduce the idea than with a site plan. You can then visualise what wonderful offerings will be available and maybe even start to plan your day. We have arranged the Show into specialist learning hubs, we call 'Villages' to help you navigate the many and varied offerings. As well as The Meeting House, where you will find something new on stage every hour from 11am to 4pm. Keynote speakers, presentations, discussions, Q&A, meet the experts as well as a little light entertainment at the end of each day. These sessions will be very focused and last around 20 minutes.
If you have any comments, questions, thoughts, ideas, you would like to be part of one of the villages, please drop us a message. This is your show, delivered by the Forest School Community for the Forest School Community. Lets talk.
We are recruiting volunteers now. Sign up with our partners Wicked Events.
Tickets on sale at the end of March. We hope to see you there. More details soon.
