Fresh Air & Fun for Schools
We pride ourselves in our back-to-nature approach with animals, adventure playground, crafts, nature walk, cosy yurt and barn. Our desire is to allow the instinctive inquisitiveness of children to be stimulated and nurtured into a desire to learn through a love of nature.
Our schools offering is outlined here but we are an independent attraction and can adapt our offering to fit with your particular term’s focus. We rotate small groups to maximise the experience of each activity. Please contact [email protected] for more information and bookings.
