None
Below is a list of the regular activities
Litter Picking
Find out about opportunities to tidy up Lesnes Abbey Woods by removing the startling amount of litter people just throw on the ground in these beautiful woods. A fun and sociable group with new recruits always welcome.
Forest Club
Forest Club is all about reconnecting with nature. Enjoy the company of others as you escape from urban life for a few hours. Every session is different. You could be relaxing around a camp fire, doing traditional woodworking, tending a dye garden or sustainably managing a hazel coppice.

Art Club
Come and be inspired by the Ancient Woodland and Romantic Abbey Ruins, or work on your own project in the company of other artists.
Join our Art Club which runs every third Thursday of the month between 10:00 am and 1:00 pm in the Lodge.
All welcome. Any age, any ability, any medium. £10.00 per session
Gardening
Give your green fingers some exercise and at the same time help keep the Monk's Garden and other planted areas looking fabulous.
Conservation
Some moderately heavy work around the entire estate helping preserve the habitat that allows the wild flowers, trees and wildlife to flourish.
Help run our stall at the Farmer's Market
Our biggest physical presence is our stall at the monthly Farmer's Market at Lesnes Abbey Woods. Here we engage with the public, provide information and fund raise by marketing our events and selling items like our guide book.
