Here are some of the questions we get asked regularly -

Is there a toilet in the woodland?

Yes, we have the highest quality compost loo in Derbyshire! We also have an outdoor urinal built by Craft Work Club.

What clothing is suitable?

In winter, bring waterproof shoes, a coat and warm clothes. In summer wear cool clothes, but please ensure you wear enclosed footwear. The track can get very muddy, so waterproof boots are recommended.

As this is the UK, we always advise bringing a waterproof coat whatever time of year!

Is there any shelter?

Yes, we have several shelters which allow us to work, whatever the weather.

Do I need to bring food?

Yes, you will be required to bring a packed lunch if attending a full day session.

Everyone who attends Craft Wood regularly are also encouraged to bring their own mug for hot drinks, to keep at the woodland.

Is there electricity on site?

Yes, we have solar panels to charge essential items.

Is there a car park?

Yes, there is a small car park. It is then a short walk up to the gate.

Is the site wheelchair accessible?

Regretfully, at present the site is not easily accessible for wheelchair users. Whilst vehicular access can be supported to the entrance, the site has a large incline and a 400m walk to access where activity takes place and the ground is very uneven.

We plan in future to put in infrastructure to be able to assist wheelchair users to access the site.

Can I bring my pet along?

Regretfully, due to potential allergies we discourage you bringing pets - unless they are assistance animals.

Are you open if the weather is bad?

Generally, the only occasion we shut are if winds above 40mph are forecast. We will always call to advise you if the project needs to close for safety reasons.
