Upcoming Events
Bear Dog is old-school: we do grand days out, but not social media or on-line bookings, although there is an editable pdf consent form on the paperwork page. To make a booking, or to be added to our mailing list, please telephone or email.

Previous Adventures
These adventures are not currently available, but here’s a tiny handful of previous adventures to give you an idea of what we do:
Horrible Histories adventure
At last! As demanded, Bear Dog fans will be able to go on a horribly historic adventure. Spend a day with Gorgeous Georgians, Slimy Stuarts, Rotten Romans, Vicious Vikings, Angry Aztecs and very Terrible Tudors. Educational fun in glorious, very silly, Bear Dog style.
Hobbit adventure
Join Bilbo and the Dwarves on their quest to ‘burgle’ Smaug’s treasure. Brave Gollum to find the One Ring; defeat irksome orcs; tackle a giant Mirkwood spider; light fires with Gandalf; feast on ‘honey cakes’ with Beorn and help the brave Men of the Lake shoot down the dragon.
Team Survival Challenge
Many of our ‘old hands’ have gone on literally dozens of Bear Dog adventures, but how much have they actually learned? This day will put them to the test. You and your team are marooned with a tarp, a cooking vessel, a fire-steel, a first aid kit, basic rations and a knife. Can your team rig a weather-tight shelter, make fire, construct a cooking tripod, cook a meal and improvise a ‘camp gadget’ to bring a little ‘luxury’ to your life?
