Play

“We believe in the smile-inducing, re-energising power of discovering the lost art of play”
What happens at a Happening Weekend?
You can take part in a selection of different activities. There is a choice at every weekend, and nothing is compulsory. From the gently physical, to the creative, to the purely playful we aim to offer something for everyone.
Every weekend offers a slightly different programme of activities, so you can pick and choose which activities you try.
You can do something completely different to your friends in the day and all catch up over dinner. You can travel on your own and enjoy the chance to try a range of activities and make new friends. The programme works around you and the group to give you a taste of something new.
Just a few activities need to be booked in advance, most you can decide on the day – or relax and enjoy the space, facilities and countryside.
Get Moving
You can get physical with quad biking or yoga, dancing or play some football or go for a swim. You can enjoy playful activity such as trampolining, country walks, cycling or kite flying and stretch your mind and body with Tai Chi and Qi Gong.
Get Curious
You will find space to reflect and activities to help inspire you – from creative workshops, to coaching expertise, to the eureka moment that can occur when you stop and have a massage!
Cook – Create – Taste
Join one of our cookery workshops to create chocolate creations, learn from our experts, and play with cookery competitions. When the season is right we may even forage for our supper – scrumping apples, picking blackberries or foraging for mushrooms.
Philosophy of Play
You will find space to play, through impromptu games, kite flying, and much more – different events and venues create a unique focus.
Our Devon venue is perfect for stunt kites and trampolining, our Peak District venue boasts a games room and football field and our Somerset venue is suited to sharing some true expertise in the kitchen.
