Looks like a stunning part of the world. Would be great to visit if you manage to put something together.
Looking forward to seeing the pictures and I hope the estate prospers with the new activity. If all goes well, I'd hope to camp overnight maybe every weekend at best.Some excellent feedback, thank you for all your input and messages.
I don't think there should be any problem providing the main features you have all put forward, fire, fuel, greenwood etc. Availability could be flexible but I am pretty sure supervision will be a requirement and I am certain a regular meet up can be arranged, perhaps monthly?
In the interests of the habitat itself numbers will have to be limited and group sizes kept small, maybe larger groups allowed at the monthly meets.
Setting this up is something I am keen to do but it must, obviously, make financial sense for the estate. They already allow free access to all sorts of good causes, universities, a forest school, local school groups etc.
With that in mind what would you consider paying for;
a) an overnighter
b) a day
c) a weekend
I have a meeting with the boss tomorrow to discuss this and set up some prices and guidelines. In the morning I will add some pictures we took in the woods while looking at potentially suitable sites, I would have put them on now but just realised that the camera is in the office still - bugger!

What you originally posted was an offer of access with supervision. If what you really want to provide is more educational then you should have been more specific.
You say you have done your homework, if so why ask for our input without providing us with all the information.
Obviously an educational facility is worth more than a simple camp site BUT that is Not what you first posted.

Residential rural crafts courses range from about £150+ per night depending on the skill being taught. Some accommodation and facilities would be required.
