Not sure if they over charged us- checking (May 2019 - Primary - Post No: 11594 )

An interesting and informative visit, but there was quite a lot of sitting around in the cold, listening to the group leaders in between taking part in activities. (April 2019 - Primary - Post No: 11302 )

Alison and Sally looked after our group for the day. They were very knowledgeable about the Anglo-Saxons and carried out the activities with the two classes. Although it was a wet day we were still able to do activities and use the buildings. The children did jewelry making (instead of wattling due to the weather) they could make either a ring or bracelet. Chalk carving where the children used a piece of flint to carve an animal into the stone and then use charcoal to add effect. They also had a go at sewing a rune and finally they handled artifacts that were from the Anglo-Saxon period and went on a walk to the Roman Villa. Again this last activity was instead of digging in the pits as the weather was too bad. (February 2019 - Primary - Post No: 9417 )

Fantastic opportunity for pupils to 'experience' life in ancient Britain. Excellent activities and friendly staff - just a shame about the foul weather! (December 2018 - Primary - Post No: 8306 )

Butser Ancient Farm is very welcoming and well organised, from the moment of our arrival to our departure, Lorraine our guide was very supportive. Lorraine shared her knowledge, demonstrated new skills and answered questions at an appropriate level. Through our Class Blog and recount writing the children have applied their new knowledge and shared their learning. (October 2018 - Primary - Post No: 6919 )

Resources well organised, enough for all. Timing overall very good. With multiple schools there, there aren't enough toilets. (September 2018 - Primary - Post No: 6302 )
