FERAL FATHERS
Visit my dedicated website:
Feral Fathers: a wild woodland weekend where grown men model over-exuberant, reckless behaviour to their children.
Which, in the woods, is entirely appropriate.
Make a den with your dad. Sleep in the den with your dad… Make fire. Make a fire outside your den. Use sharp knives next to the fire outside your den. Hunt your dad in the night. Make traps. Get messy. Play games. All of it, with your dad (or uncle, godfather etc).
This weekend packs in everything dads and their kids really want to do with each other, but often don’t get the chance or the excuse.
In a beautiful piece of woodland and in a lively village atmosphere, we blend bushcraft, survival and the art of mucking around into a thread of activities that are very achievable and a lot of fun. As a big manly tribe, we shall cook and eat together, make friends, learn skills, tell fireside stories and have rip-roaring adventures together, just like dads and kids have for thousands of years.
Feral Fathers weekends run from 6pm on the Friday to 4pm on the Sunday.

And now also... FERAL FATHERS: THE LONG WEEKEND
A long weekend format, created by Dad demand and very popular in 2026.
A format that runs an extra day, from 6pm on the Friday to 3pm on the Monday. Smaller group, different experience…
More time for games and activities, yes, but more gaps too, and time for sinking together into blissful woodland living.
30 April – 3 May 2027 (bank holiday)
Feral Fathers Hiking Expeditions
Ready to step up from a woodland weekend to a hiking expedition together?
I run multi-day hiking adventures where you and your child navigate trails, wild camp under the stars, and build the skills and confidence to plan your own expeditions together.
More than just a trip – it’s the launchpad for a lifetime of adventures.
Dartmoor: For dads with children 12+.
Lake District: Dads with children 13/14+
