TORRISDALE DISTILLERY FIELD GUIDE
Ranger Steve’s Woodland School — an hour of crafts and nature for nursery and primary children in Torrisdale
A one-hour, nature‑inspired session led by Ranger Steve that guides young children through crafts and outdoor activities while parents enjoy a moment of respite.
Ranger Steve’s Woodland School — an hour of crafts and nature for nursery and primary children in Torrisdale.
Woodland School sits within an intimate woodland setting in Torrisdale where Ranger Steve runs short, focused sessions of nature‑inspired activities and crafts for nursery and primary‑aged children. The format is deliberately brief — one hour — designed to engage small attention spans and leave parents reassured that their children are in capable hands while they take a coffee break. Organisers request arrivals at least ten minutes before the start to allow the buggy to transfer families down to the woodland site.

The pace is gentle and designed for nursery and primary children, with staff handling the session so carers can choose to step away for a break.
