ADULT LEARNING

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.

Quotes from previous participants:

"​The celebration and triumph we felt when starting a fire was wonderful.
We will leave with huge smiles on our faces and feeling very alive!" 

"What a privilege to learn in such an experiential way with such knowledgeable and generous teachers. So many layers of learning and a wonderful community spirit."

"Such an evocative way to learn the history of our ancestors."

"Sometimes you have to experience and give things a go yourself to really understand. These courses are so difficult to find and they give us a chance to appreciate just how talented our ancestors were."
