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.
You can book workshops and tours Tuesday – Friday, between 10:30 and 12:00 or 13:00 and 15:00. We are unable to offer tours and workshops during school holidays.
The maximum group size is 30. For groups above this size, they must be divided.
To book fill in our booking form and send to our Education Officer by emailing education@deencityfarm.co.uk.
Please familiarise yourself with our School Visit Information Pack and contact our Education Officer by emailing education@deencityfarm.co.uk, if you have any queries.

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.
