TESTIMONIALS
The children were entranced!
Our children thoroughly enjoyed the experience and are now buzzing with ideas for their own stories, projects and plans for time outdoors!
You were totally magnificent! We cannot wait to work with you again! It's a rare thing, to see every single person hanging on every single word. You've completely changed the way we are thinking about our work!
This place is paradise.
Pridie’s warm and welcoming hospitality, the private and spacious pitches on the beautiful meadows with amazing views on surrounding mountains, and all the conscious daily care of the land and campsite with deep respect to the environment, make this such a unique site!
Thank you Pridie for a truly memorable weekend. You are a master facilitator and a master storyteller. The whole thing just exceeded my expectations!
I think your walks should be on the National Curriculum and also prescribed to every adult alive! Everyone should do at least one in a lifetime!
I have just been totally swept away! I am going - right not - outside, to meet and greet the plants you've just taught me about!
