What to bring

            

              Before your visit:

  • Please send us a provisional list of all visitor names for our bio-security record.
  • Please warn coach/bus drivers that visiting fields and farmyards means that wellies may get very muddy.

             Please ensure that you and your pupils bring with you:   

  • Wellies and outdoor clothing suitable for the weather 
  • Packed lunches and drinks (we do have a water dispenser) 
  • First aid kit including inhalers etc for specific children

    You may also like to bring:   
  • Apples or carrots if visiting the pigs
  • Named yoghurt pots on a tray if doing the seed planting activity 

We would like to suggest that you bring an appropriate packed lunch and here are some foods we think are ideal:
