School & Farm Tours
Deen City Farm and Riding School isn’t just a fun place to visit – it’s also a unique learning resource. We collaborate with many local schools and organisations in offering a range of educational experiences and activities.
The benefits of learning outside the classroom are well documented and widely recognised and local schools and pupils can visit and have both a great time and a valuable learning experience.

Planning on visiting Morden Hall Park?
We’re very fortunate to be situated next to Morden Hall Park, a brief 10-15 minute walk from the farm. If you’re planning on visiting Morden Hall Park or even passing through with your school group, you may need to book in advance.
Please have a look at their National Trust website for more information on structured and self-led visits to the Park.
Visitors to the Farm can also access us via Windsor Avenue and we have some car and minibus parking just outside the Farm.
