Adventures

in Nature

Little Wild Things runs outdoor sessions for children and their grown-ups in a patch of Oxfordshire woodland.

We explore nature, try new things, tell stories, encourage imaginative play and get good and muddy.

Children who spend more time outdoors are happier and healthier. They learn to understand, love and be inspired by nature. That’s good for them, good for communities and good for the natural environment.

So why not come out to play!

Calling all wild things

Merry Christmas!

Thank you everyone for all your support this year. We’ve loved welcoming so many of you into the woods to howl as wolves, make mud wallows, deliver the animal post, go crabbing, eat nettle crisps, throw cream pies, rescue the woodlice babies and round up all those evil peas! We can’t wait for many more adventures in 2025.

Lots of love and mince pies,

What We Do

Little Wild Things wants to inspire people to spend more time outdoors. We run 6 days a week, almost all year round. We work with schools, pre-schools and hundreds of local families.
