Next available dates:  Summer half term - 27th May to 30th May     For children age 8-12

Discovery Days


The course is an exciting mix of nature, arts & crafts and games based in the Farm's Classroom.

Arrive at 10am or shortly afterwards, with your lunch (or money to purchase food from the Cafe) and be picked up at 4pm.  Wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, ideally with wellies but trainers are ok too.

Clearing Away and Preparing for the Next Day
Please Note: Not all the above activities will necessarily happen on any given day.  Other activities may be substituted in.  The outline is a guide only.

Please Note that the Farm Opens to the Public at 10am and we are not able to take responsibility for children on site before this time.  Therefore, the ideal time to arrive for these programmes is just before 10am.
