Excellent venue and event. Well organised (March 2022 - Primary School)




Well planned and organised. (March 2022 - Primary School)




This activity was well managed and organised. The class was halved and carefully prepped in health and safety. All pupils made excellent attempts to participate and were made to feel safe and supported. Communication was clear and articulate and member of Holkham staff were very professional and helpful The only recommendation I would give is to allow schools to have sole access to this activity as we were among the general public using the high ropes which I felt made it much harder to keep all pupils safe at all times, luckily we had a high ratio of staff to children but without this it might have been tricky.
