A Day in Nature
Carers Together Wiltshire are warmly inviting unpaid Carers to experience a peaceful day out amidst nature. Step away from your routine, breathe in the woodland air, and enjoy a relaxing day with activities designed to refresh and restore.
Activities include:
A wildlife walk through the forest
Pond dipping (with a net, not swimming!)
Willow weaving crafts
A mindfulness session
This day is all about you; taking a break, meeting people, and trying something new.
Getting There
We are offering free minibus pick-ups from four locations:
- Calne Town Hall - SN11 0EN (8am)
- Salisbury Rugby Club – SP1 3SA
- Salisbury Train Station – SP2 7RL
- Brown Street Car Park (West) – SP1 1HE
Carers are also welcome to make their own way to Hazel Hill, where free on-site parking is available.
What to Bring
Please bring a packed lunch for the day - we'll provide drinks and sweet treats!
Dress appropriately for the weather in durable clothing and sturdy footwear. The venue recommends wearing long trousers or leggings tucked into socks to protect against ticks. Check the forecast beforehand, as we plan to spend most of the day outdoors.
Accessibility
This event takes place in a woodland location with natural paths and uneven ground, which may not be suitable for everyone. If you have any accessibility or mobility requirements, please contact us before booking and we'll be happy to discuss any support or adjustments that may be available.
