    Brilliant party!
    Absolutely brilliant experience for my sons 7th birthday! I requested that wood-sage host a party in our local village hall and they were able to find fantastic activities and cater all needs plus dietary requirements, they even had a speaker for background music. We had soft archery, outdoor games and fire pit. The kids were engaged throughout and were worn out by the end! Set up was swift and they cleaned up after themselves which was fantastic.
    Many thanks for the kind words... It's always nice to hear that people enjoyed themselves at one of our events, especially in this case as we left the comforts of our base and came to your venue! We had a great time too & hope to see you again in the future! ^SM

    Brilliant experience
    Visited as a family to celebrate a 30th birthday and we all had a great time. We did crossbow, air rifles (also pistols, which we weren't expecting), and airsoft electronic shooting. Simon and Bev were brilliant and made sure everyone had fun whilst running a very professional and safe experience.
    Many thanks for the kind words…we always try a give a little extra to our guests and for you it was the pistols! Glad you all enjoyed yourselves…hope to see you again in the future. ^SM

    Fantastitic fun and professionally run
    My teenage son and his friend did the air rifle and pistol taster session on the range with Wood-Sage and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The whole session was extremely professional, engaging and friendly. The boys had a great time and improved their scores massively at the end of the session. In the car on the way home, teenage boys actually talked and answered questions in full sentences and made eye contact - it was that stimulating! They are already planning a return visit to try out the airsoft electronic range.
    Many thanks for the kind words! Shooting has always been one of my passions, so it’s always great to pass that ‘buzz’ along to new shooters! The boys did really well and should be proud of themselves…we look forward to seeing them again in the future.

    Shooting with the scouts
    Wood Sage held airsoft shooting with our scout group and we all had a fantastic time. The scouts loved all the varied challenges that were set. Simon was great at keeping them safe, engaged and interested. Would definitely have them back again and recommend for any other youth meetings. Thank you from 1st Read and Simonstone scout group.
    Many thanks for the kind words. The electronic airsoft range is our most popular activity at the moment as it allows so many ways to keep people engaged, so I’m really pleased that your young people also enjoyed it. The young people were a credit to you and the families…well done everyone, you absolutely smashed it! Looking forward to seeing you all again!

If you're looking to get your kids off their screens for a while, and out of the house for some interactive fun, then you've got to try this. I enrolled my 8 year old on a 'Forest Camp' day which gives kids a first hand outdoor experience under the watchful eye of Simon, a highly qualified outdoor specialist, and his leaders-All DBS checked. Starting at 10.00am and finishing at 3.00pm I togged my son up for all kinds of weather with layers, walking boots, and waterproofs. Although a little overdressed for the day, this was his first time and at least he was prepared!!

My son had an amazing time learning about how we must respect and protect our forest environment-not just for the safety of wildlife, but for ourselves too. Coming back with quirky phrases such as 'Don't pick or lick it' as well as building dens, making 'dragons breath' bracelets, and baking bread camp-fire style, he really had a stimulating time. Older kids can learn about making fires and using tools safely and respectfully too. This style of learning is fantastic for inspiring our youngsters to challenge themselves within a controlled learning environment. By providing them with essential life skills such as problem solving and teambuilding, it promotes happy confident and responsible individuals. With all that fresh air, most importantly what Simon does the best is to make the great outdoors interesting, interactive and fun. Thanks for such a great day and you will definitely see us again soon.

We went to Wood-Sage as part of a friend's hen do. When we first got there it didn't look like it would be as entertaining as it was. Don't judge a book by its cover! Simon and Bev were very knowledgeable and safety was key to the activities. We were a group of 8 and each got individual time and plenty of turns. We all really enjoyed it and I'm keen to go again soon! Thanks Simon & Bev!

Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences on Tripadviser. Bushcraft started for me as a boy (we called it Scouts then!) and has always been a major part of my life, so it's good to know that we can pass on some of the skills that we take for granted. Hope to see you and the Great British Bushcraft Group again soon.

As part of the Huddersfield U8s End of Season Tour, we booked in to Wood Sage for outdoor activities. It was brilliant. The 7 and 8 year olds loved the leap of faith, crate stacking and archery. The set-up is fantastic and Simon and the team were extremely accommodating. It's a very professional company and i wouldn't hesitate to recommend Wood Sage. thank you!

Wow... Amazing party today.... Thanks Simon and the team for looking after the boys so well. We booked my sons 8th birthday party with woodsage as something a little different. The boys took part in a nerf wars experience and played party games in the wooden Fort. They had a great time burning off energy and sliding in the mud (sorry for the extra washing parents 😉 but all this added to the excitement, fun and adventures)
Cooking on the open fire added the wow factor, along with the hot chocolate.... Even the adults got to have a go cooking sausages on the fire.
Staff were friendly, approachable and did an excellent job of keeping the children engaged on a cold, wet December day two days before Christmas!

Highly highly recommend

Many thanks for the kind words. We always enjoy birthday parties, but one so close to Christmas was an even bigger thrill for us as all the party guests were already excited before they got to us! We hope to see you again in the future!

Wow I really can't recommend this place enough for a birthday party. Simon and Beth did everything and more to ensure all the party guests and the birthday boy had a fab time. I was worried that 3hrs would be too long but think they'd have stayed until it was dark if we'd let them. The nerf activity was lots of fun and the sausages cooked in the amazing teepee just added that extra something to what was easily our sons best birthday party to date. Really good value, lots to choose from, AMAZING staff and a quality cup of coffee available for the grown ups! If you book a party here you won't be disappointed (just please don't book it the second weekend in October, we want to come back! 😂)

Many thanks for taking the time to share your review here on Tripadvisor. Birthday parties are always special, so we strive to "go the extra mile" for our guests to ensure that they have a great time...but to be honest, we enjoy the parties as much as our guests! We look forwards to seeing you all gain soon...or next October if it takes that long!
