Easter: Hudnall Park - Woodland Survival Skills

Join us at Hudnall Park and let the adventure begin!

Hudnall Park is Services for Young People's outdoor activity centre set in 85 acres of beautiful parkland, private woodland and meadows, five miles from Hemel Hempstead in the west of Hertfordshire.

We offer tailor-made programmes of activities designed to develop young people’s social, emotional and physical skills in a safe and supportive environment.

During the Easter 2026 school holidays we are offering adventurous outdoor activities to young people aged 13-19 with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), including those with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. Young people are eligible until the summer holiday of the year they turn 19 (if in full time education). The activities are funded by Hertfordshire County Council Short Breaks but there is a small fee of £3.50 for each activity which is non-refundable. If you are not registered for Short Breaks, please register here before booking.

All sessions are for a maximum of 12 people. You can book as many activities as you wish. Young people taking part in both morning and afternoon activities on the same day are welcome to stay for lunch – please provide them with a packed lunch.
