Stomping Ground CIC

Stomping Ground CIC is a not-for-profit organisation inspiring creative workshops and events in Cumbria and north Lancashire with an emphasis on outdoor learner-led PLAY!

Lily Horseman, Di Larfynn and Gemma Webb are the directors of Stomping Ground CIC and have over 50 years collective experience of creative arts workshops and commissions, Forest School and outdoor play, event organising and community consultation. Stomping Ground was born in 2009 out of a desire to work meaningfully in a community setting and Gem and Di developed Stomping Ground to be flexible, mobile and playful.

Play is how we learned how to be part of a community as children so now Stomping Ground create spaces where we all, young or old, have permission to play!

Stomping Ground CIC have some gorgeous resources on their website which were created in partnership with Penrith Town Council as part of their Penrith In Bloom project - some simple ideas to spark interest, joy and fun. You can find one of their resources below (and see more on their website)
