What type of visits do you offer?

We offer both guided and self-guided educational visits to our Farm Park, and more recently we can now visit your school too! More information on this can be found on our website and in the FAQ below 'visits to your School'.

In summary, Self-Guided Visits offer great value and a less formally structured day where you can enjoy the daily activities in the Farm Park, make use of our indoor and outdoor play areas.

There's a whole range of days and sessions that can be arranged when booking a Guided Visit, such as children understanding where and how food is grown to then use these ingredients to get hands on in the kitchen - this is our famous 'Field to Fork' day. Please take a look on our website for all of our Guided Visits.
