ADULT COURSES
Adult Courses at the Railway Land
We’re excited to be growing our programme for adults — offering ways to slow down, get hands-on, and reconnect with the natural world. Alongside our work with schools and young people, these sessions invite you to explore ecology, traditional crafts and the skills of our ancestors.
Ancient Skills Series
Step into the past and see the land through prehistoric eyes. Our Ancient Skills Series offers practical, immersive experiences — from fire-making to foraging — that help us understand how humans once lived in balance with nature, and what that might mean for us today.
