Looking for a winter adventure? | The Forge

The Forge Corwen

Come and stay in our gypsy caravan and enjoy one of our awesome winter experiences - choose from wild swimming, campfire cooking, foraging, a night-time safari or axe throwing!

To celebrate the magic of being outside during the winter months we are offering a special deal when you come and stay at Bluebell Corner between now and the end of March.

For just £60 for two adults, you can get to try your hand at one of the following experiences, all of which will leave you buzzing!

Wild Swim Experience

Jumping into freezing cold river in the middle of winter might feel like the last thing you would ever want to do, but in the safe hands of our expert guide we can introduce you to the wonders of cold water therapy. Whether you are just keen to dip a toe, or want to go the full Wim Hof we've got some stunning local locations for you to experience wild swimming. You don't need any special equipment, just a swimming costume, a towel and an old pair of trainers, woolly hats optional! We'll provide everything else, including hot drinks and sweet treats for afterwards.

Campfire Experience

Ever wanted to light a fire by rubbing two sticks together? Well we can help you fulfil that dream! Using lots of different techniques and materials you'll get to try lots of different fire lighting methods before cooking up your own hot chocolate and toasting marshmallows. Perhaps this experience should actually be called a 'Smores Masterclass'!

Axe Throwing Experience

This is the ultimate in outdoor competitive fun. Once you've mastered the basic techniques this highly addictive activity will have you hooked as you aim for the perfect rotation and hitting that bullseye! We'll provide all the axes and tuition, you just need to bring yourselves and your good throwing arm!

Foraging Experience

Learn all about our native plant species as you take a gentle wander around The Forge and our Iron Age hillfort. Depending on the season, you'll get to sample lots of our edible wild foods, ranging from mushrooms, nuts, berries and leaves. After our walk you'll get to create something with your foraged goodies so you have a lasting memory to take home with you.

Night-time Safari

Enter a secret night-time world on this after-dark safari using our night vision equipment. With luck we'll get to see barn owls, badgers, foxes and rabbits, plus you'll get the chance to do some spectacular star-gazing if we get a clear night.

To enjoy one of these experiences, just select the option when you book online and we'll get in touch to arrange when you'd like to do it during your stay.
