We had a fantastic afternoon at Tribe. We were a family of 4 adults, celebrating our son's 21st birthday and were able to have a bespoke experience just for our group. We made our way from the carpark through the woodland to a lovely area where there was a firepit, some seating, shelter etc. It was so peaceful and felt like we were really out in the wild. Peter was so friendly and knowledgeable. We learnt how to light a fire, tie knots, carve wood and put up shelter, as well as a fun problem solving task. There was tea and coffee to keep us warm and toilet facilities. We would recommend Tribe to anyone looking for an amazing bushcraft experience! - 21/10/24

Thank you to Pete, Jackie and Alison for making our son's 8th birthday party so amazing! The twelve of them were a lively bunch (!) but all of them had four hours of brilliant fun in the beautiful woodland, and learnt a lot from you too! Thoroughly recommended! - 24/07/24

It was amazing. I went here as part of an event organised by my university society, and what an experience it was. We learned how to make fire out of nothing and how to carve different things out of wood to not only survive in the wild but actually thrive there. I highly recommend this place to anyone who likes nature and likes to learn how to do things with his own hands. - 29/04/24

I went to tribe this weekend with some friends, I had an amazing time overall and learnt a lot about bushcraft and survival. Pete was an excellent teacher and was very patient , he made the lessons very fun and intriguing and made sure we handled everything in a safe manner. The food we were brought for lunch was excellent quality, more than enough to go round. It was much needed for the all the activities we did. Overall I highly recommend coming here, I will be returning for the overnight stay. - 29/04/24

I attended Tribe as part of my role in a mainstream school. Wow - what a place and what an experience for both children and adults! The natural environment and camp is just such a special and enthralling place to be. The opportunities to learn and develop skills and roles are endless. The instructors' levels of knowledge, passion and expertise are mind-blowing and I left with so much more understanding of things in the natural world. The ethos of Tribe instills values and respect. I would highly recommend Tribe and will be going back with both my own child and my own friends! - 25/04/24

Have we just had the most wonderful morning? I think we have! This is a hidden gem of fun and learning. As we arrived at the camp the fire was lit creating an enchanting atmosphere and warmth amongst the winter chill, there Peter met us with a friendly welcome. The camp is incredibly beautiful, submerged within nature where all you can hear is the crackle of the camp fire, trickle of the stream and birds singing. Peter’s knowledge is engaging and his friendly and patient demeanour makes the whole process really enjoyable. We didn’t want the morning to end and I would have quite happily stayed for another couple of hours. If you want to do something different either alone or with family and friends this is a must. It’s very muddy mid winter so get your wellies on with an extra pair of socks, take some spare shoes, and go and grab a beer in the Angel after. We will be going back time and time again. Thank you so much Peter, we really did have an excellent time. - 27/02/24
