The activity / event providers must deliver family leisure/wellbeing activities which add to our visitor experience onsite and increase stay duration. It is preferable for the activities to happen at peak visitor times (i.e., weekends and school holidays) and the events to occur seasonally. Forestry England are actively developing the facilities at the Jeskyns site in order to encourage additional visitor numbers and stay duration. This includes establishing additional toilet facilities and further car parking. Potential site activities/events could include an outdoor cinema or segway hire. There are a number of flat, accessible paths across the site which can be utilised in any proposed activity. It should also be noted that there is an existing storage container that may be used in the delivery of this requirement / there is space on site for an additional storage container if required. Forestry England are currently scoping our requirements to ensure that the future tender documentation and specification accurately reflects the offerings of the outdoor activities/events market. We invite interested companies from the market to register their interest in this future requirement and provide feedback on potential clarifications on the feasibility of our emerging plans. We also invite suppliers to provide suggestions on potential attractions that they believe would be a suitable fit with the Jeskyns Community Woodland: [forestryengland.uk/jeskyns](https://www.forestryengland.uk/jeskyns) Jeskyns Community Woodland is located near Cobham, Kent, and is home to 360 acres of newly planted woodlands, meadows and orchards.
