Question 1

Is there parking?

Toilets and handwashing are available on site, but activities are often run in the forest so recommend all visitors arrive ahead of the start to use facilities beforehand.

When should we arrive?

Accepted Answer

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the start event.

Question 5

What is expected of parents/carers?

Hive staff will lead the events, explain activities, introduce rules, and assist all children where they can. However, carers will be expected to support their children with the practicalities and help enforce rules. It is the joint responsibility of all adults to keep the group safe.

Question 6

Is there a café or can I bring a picnic?

Accepted Answer

There is no café on site and due to the number of full-day groups visiting, we are unfortunately unable to allow picnics on site. However, there are several options nearby. The closest indoor eatery is The Owl pub, at Lippits Hill. For a choice of options, visit High Beach visitor centre and carpark
