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 on the paperwork page. To make a booking, or to be added to our mailing list, please telephone or email.

Next adventures

Toy Story Adventure

Join Woody and the gang for a day of high adventure in the woods. Launch Buzz into space and go on a space walk; shoot tin cans in Woody's shooting gallery; catch aliens with The Claw; save Buzz from the Zurgs, and much, much more.
1st, 2nd, 7th and (only if required) 8th April
10am to 3pm. Ideal for Year1-6 (older welcome) £40 including lunch

Traitors adventure

There are traitors in the Bear Dog Wood, but who are they? Complete missions to win points, 'banish' suspected traitors at round tables... and try to survive to the end. NB whilst everyone will be able to take part in all the missions, even after 'banishment', it will be essential that children are able to cheerily accept being 'out' (hence Yr3+). Familiarity with the format helps (I'd suggest Celebrity Traitors as there's no bad language), but it is not essential
10th, 13th and 14th April (ONLY 13th still has places)
State schoolers have priority booking on 10th
10am to 3pm. Year3+ £40 including lunch

Woodland Adventure

A day of traditional woodland fun, suitable for all ages. We'll build dens, light fires and, because some have been agog with curiosity for months, make Bear Dog 'mozzarella fiascos'. There will be free-flow fun after lunch with the usual Bear Dog activities (rope-bridge, zip-wire, catties, blind volleyball etc.).
16th April FULLY BOOKED
10am to 3pm. Ideal for Year1-6 (older welcome) £40 including lunch

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?
