Fire Craft Fun

About Fire Craft Fun

Go back in time before lighters or matches. Explore the many different methods and materials that burn and be amazed by creating your own blazing fire! We'll even cook up a tasty, warming treat.

Too hot to miss!

How to get there:

Fire Craft Fun starts at Education Centre in Alice Holt Forest Centre which is part of Alice Holt Forest. Farnham is the nearest town or village.

From the A31 turn off at Farnham onto the A325. Stay on the A325 for approximately 3 miles. From Portsmouth and Petersfield take the A325 towards Farnham. At the Halfway House Pub on the A325 turn off the main road following signs for Alice Holt Forest. The entrance is 300 yards along this road on the left. The nearest station is at Bentley. From here you can walk through Alice Holt Forest to the Forest Centre along public rights of way. Alternatively take the train to Farnham and catch a bus to Bucks Horn Oak. The Education Centre is located adjacent to the second car park you come to after entering the forest.
