We've been gathering feedback from our workshop guests for a long time and some things stand out as items that many people "wish we had brought with us": outdoor footwear, more layers and insect repellant. This kist list has been created with that in mind.

Compulsory items:

  • Walking boots or similar
  • Weather-appropriate clothes, including a waterproof coat and extra layers (there is a lot more standing still than a normal walk in the countryside, so it always gets colder than you think!)
  • Hand sanitizer
  • Bottle of water
  • Suncream and/or insect repellent
  • Warm hat or sun hat (depending on the season) and gloves
  • Proof of ticket purchase - electronic is perfect, so save your printer paper!

Optional items that may enhance your day:

  • A 'sit mat' or equivalent (especially for workshops with food being served)
  • A notebook and pencil
  • A snack to keep you going and we also recommend having a big breakfast beforehand

"Make sure you have warm clothes in the seasons that require it. You are not on a brisk continuous walk, so you do not keep the blood flowing. It can get chilly standing and talking. I did take warm clothes, as it actually did describe that in the pre-event notes, so I was warm enough." - Just one example of advice from a previous workshop guest
