SCHOOL VISITS

We aim to connect people to the story of their food from farm to plate; to nature, especially their local environment and to each other, creating a more cohesive community. With four sites and a diverse neighborhood, the Farm is an ideal venue for educational activities and exploration in an outdoor environment.

We offer fun packed educational visits for groups of up to 35 children at a time. Visits can include a tour of the farm, a mini-beast adventure, natural crafts, bush crafts and other outdoor learning activities. Further below you’ll find a non-exhaustive list of activities offered to school groups.

A Farm Tour

Join the farmer for a tour of the farmyard. With a chance to feed the goats and sheep or search for plants, chicken eggs, this hands-on learning experience will teach you how we care for plants, animals, why they are farmed and how our food is produced.

Discovery Trail

An active orienteering trail through the farm or the hills. Using their understanding of place recognition, children will follow maps and photos to search for a collection of stamps.

Mixing with Mud

Squelch squerch. Sculpt tree fairies and boggarts out of clay and found natural objects. Create a mud masterpiece using traditional printing techniques – splat it & spray it.

The Story of Fire

Watch and listen as an experienced leader slowly builds and sets a fire alight whilst retelling the story of ‘How the rabbit fave fire to the people’. A warming experience.

Sticks and Stones

Imaginative play and learning using natural found items to make music, pictures, obstacle courses, mini shelters, tracking trails and much more…

Bonkers about birds

Using a mixture of logs, fir cones, bird feed and vegetable suet we will create attractive bird feeders which can be hung in your school gardens.
