Campfire Cookery!

    Home Campfire Cookery!

    We are very excited to have Yorkshire Dales Bushcraft joining us at the festival again next year! They were very popular with not only the children but with the adults at the festival this year! They will be back entertaining us with some campfire cookery workshops and will be coming back bigger and better than ever!

    Last year they entertained the crowds with bread making, flag fish cooking and fire lighting workshops, which all sold out quickly! They even had a drop in marshmallow toasting on an evening! Yum!

    Check out some of the images of the fun we had with them in 2019!

    Scroll down to see what exciting activities Yorkshire Dales Bushcraft will be bringing to 2020! You won’t be disappointed!
