Workshops 2015: Meadow

Remember your childhood days when you and your best friend attempted to talk through two tin cans attached to a string? Or when your children make beautiful music with your home cutlery? Well you can experience this all over again and more at Wychwood this summer if you take the opportunity to explore Meadow!

Meadow is an area of hands on activities, offering an amazing array of entertainment, from interactive music sessions to learning about ecology with Sex, Bugs and Rock and Roll or even some brilliant balancing with Slacklining!
