An amazing opportunity to hear Rick Stein discussing his book, Rick Stein At Home. Rick has spent his life travelling the world in search of cooking perfection and inspiring millions of food lovers with the results. In his new book, he takes stock of his remarkable life and takes us into the rhythms and rituals of his home cooking.

For Rick cooking at home is not all about dinner parties, it’s about nights in with your family, knocking a meal up from what’s in the fridge. It’s about having friends over for a bite to eat, making spectacular takeaway food, and simple joys.

In his first book to celebrate his all-time favourite home-cooked meals, Rick shares over 100 very special recipes – from family classics that evoke childhood memories, his Mum’s risotto and her favourite Apple Charlotte, along with stories that celebrate his favourite ingredients, food memories, family cooking moments and more.

Explore and get messy at Black Park! Forest School style sessions aimed at 2-4 year olds.

Explore and get messy at Black Park!

Join us in Black Pines Camp for some fun in the woods! We have a variety of activities for your Tot to go wild, including the mud kitchen, digging pit, water play, bug hunting, weaving, balancing and more.

Tots Go Wild is aimed at 2-4 year olds but as soon as your little one is able to walk independently they are welcome to come and join in at our exciting outdoor play sessions.

There will be one focus activity each week and other activities should always be child-led with the children being encouraged to choose what they would like to do to help them build on their self-esteem, confidence and independence. During October through to May we also have a fire which the Tots can have a go at roasting marshmallows!

Tots Go Wild takes place on most Fridays during term time throughout the year. Morning sessions run from 10:00-11:30 and afternoon sessions run from 13:00-14:30. We stagger the release of our tickets in line with the start of each new school term.

We go ahead in all weathers - unless deemed unsafe - so please dress appropriately!

Meeting point: Black Pines Camp (behind the picnic area, Foxley Copse). Just follow the 'Tots Go Wild' signs anti-clockwise around the lake from the car park - it is about a 15 minute walk. Buggies are welcome!

We’re delighted to welcome back bestselling author Jacqueline Wilson to Chorleywood this autumn.

Jacqueline will be talking about her brand new novel The Primrose Railway Children, a heartwarming story of family and adventure, inspired by E. Nesbit’s timeless classic.

Phoebe Robinson loves making up stories – just like her wonderful, imaginative Dad.

When he mysteriously disappears, Phoebe, Perry, Becks and their mum must leave everything behind and move to a small cottage in the middle of nowhere.

Struggling to feel at home and missing her Dad terribly, Phoebe’s only distraction is her guinea pig Daisy. Until the family discover the thrilling steam trains at the railway station and suddenly, every day is filled with adventure.

But Phoebe still can’t help wondering, what is Mum hiding and more worryingly is Dad okay?
