The Forest School Show 2026

Forest School Show, 26-27 September

Forest School Association (FSA) conference, 25-27 September

Walesby Forest, Nottinghamshire

The Forest School Show is a brand new event bringing together practitioners, trainers and organisations from across the Forest School and outdoor learning community for a collaborative gathering focused on sharing, connection and inspiration.

The event also incorporates the Forest School Association conference, creating a significant moment in the calendar where a wide community can come together to explore practice, exchange ideas and reflect on developments in the field.

The conference theme is Embers - the power of play.

The show will feature a series of themed villages, each highlighting different areas of outdoor learning – including bushcraft, food and outdoor cooking, arts and crafts, performing arts, storytelling, wellbeing, training and professional development and nature connection. This creates a rich, practical environment where different strands of practice can be explored side by side.

At its heart, the event is a celebration of quality Forest School and a shared mission to connect with all forms of outdoor learning, celebrating its inclusive nature and showcasing strong practice to a wider audience.

Muddy Faces will be there too – come and say hello.
