Our teenage years are some of the most important of our lives. This is when we develop our sense of identify and we begin to understand our place within this wild world. We test social and physical boundaries and we learn habits that will stay with us for life.
Wild Folk delivers young people's sessions in the Uley/Dursley, Gloucestershire area.
Current sessions:- Mondays & Wednesdays @ GL11 Community Hub, Dursley
