Challenge us to plan your day. We often say to schools “tell us your topic and let us see what we can plan” Food and Farming is such a thematic subject that it can link to almost any subject area.
Once you have agreed a date and given us the relevant information you will be sent a confirmation letter which will have our risk assessments and an outline of the day along with other important information attached to it.
You will be invoiced directly from our accounts department unless otherwise arranged.
Unled groups do need to book through Karen, but have the option of paying on the day.
We encourage teachers/play leaders to visit the site and complete their own risk assessment. This is FREE of charge and can be arranged by phoning Karen on 01268 290232.
Your coach driver can collect a voucher from the Farm Park kiosk to spend in our onsite cafe.
On the day of your visit we will meet and greet you in the car park and escort you to your base where you will be given a brief health and safety talk and an outline of your day.
