A member of staff greeted us on the coach and shared with us safety procedures for being on the farm. They lead us to our designated area and explained what was going on when and where. A member of staff was always available. It was a lovely day and the children really enjoyed themselves and so did the adults. (April 2019 - Primary School)




Children loved it. Just too much to fit in for just a school day. (February 2019 - Primary School)
