School & Group Visits
Planning a School Trip?
Our school group visits play an important role in our mission to encourage future generations to care for our local landscape, conserve our native habitats and protect our natural environment.
We’re an accessible educational hub offering a learning experience that is interwoven with fun & adventure.
Our unique and adaptable education sessions are led by a team of expert farm keepers who are passionate about sharing their knowledge. Sessions are designed around your individual requirements.
We welcome a range of education groups, including primary & secondary schools, pre-schools & home educators, as well as youth groups, uniform groups, charities, group tours and more!
We believe in the importance of learning through first-hand experience of our natural world and the great outdoors.
On a school group visit, you can expect a choice of self-led exploration around our open farm, or a more immersive experience. With our hands-on workshops we aim to engage & educate in a way that inspires happiness and creates memories.
Note: We welcome visiting groups of any age (not just youngsters!).
