Our main cafe GRAZE will also be closed.

The arrival time is 10am.

We encourage all of our group bookings to arrive on time as we often have more than one school visiting on any day.

If you think you are going to be late please let us know so we can keep our team up to date.

Our overflow car park is where your coach / minibus will park and you will enter the park via our overflow admissions entrance.

All adults and children should bring a packed lunch as our catering outlets are only selling hot and cold drinks, snacks and ice creams.

There are two water points in the park where you are able to refill water bottles throughout the day.

All children must wear suitable footwear (ideally trainers) and clothing that covers their back, arms and legs if they wish to use the slides

Please discourage children from bringing any extra items or valuables.

The teachers leading the trip must have emergency contact details for each child and details of allergies. Any child receiving first aid who is not able to rejoin the group quickly must be collected by an adult or be taken to A&E if necessary.

We will have a designated area for your group to keep bags / lunch boxes during the day. Your belongings are left at your own risk and we would request that children do not bring any valuables or electronic devices on site

We will provide your group with a designated area to eat lunch and our school host will advise you of where this is upon arrival. If there is more than one group visiting on the day of your visit we will have a separate areas for each school.

Our visits are self-led which gives you the freedom to make your own itinerary for the day.

The only time led element of the trip will be your educational animal talk if you choose to have one. The time of this will be advised in advance so you can plan your day.

Rest assured there will be staff members around the park throughout the day should you have any questions.

The talk will take place in our animal barn and lasts about 30 minutes. It is customised to suit the children’s age.

During the talk the children will learn about the different types of animals we have here at Cattle Country including why we keep them, about the animals needs/husbandry and they’ll learn about the impact farming has on each and every one of our lives including the different types of farming that help put food on our tables.

If you are learning about something specific in your curriculum we are happy adapt our speech to meet your needs with prior notice.

Please be aware that we are a working farm and we believe in educating children about food and farming. If this does not suit your pupils or school ethos please let us know and the educational talk can be cancelled.

We do not offer animal handling during our school visits but after the educational animal talk the children will be given some animal feed and they can hand feed our goats and sheep.

Your group will then exit via our farm trail where the children can meet some more of the animals they have just learnt about.

Depending on what time of year you visit we may have lambs, goat kids or piglets!

The tractor trailer rides are no longer available for school visits.

You can download a copy of our risk assessment on the School Visits section of our website.

If you require any additional information you can contact our team who would be happy to help.

Unfortunately, we do not offer visits to site to carry out a risk assessment prior to your school visit as during the week as the park will be closed and our maintenance team will be actively working.
