We’ve been welcoming school trips and group visits for over twenty years. We cater for groups visiting from pre-schools and nurseries as well as primary and secondary schools.
We are easily reachable for days out from all over Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. Our Farmyard Experience package offers a day of discovery and fun, with activities for children of all ages.
