Visits

The Farm’s Outreach Programme

As an educational resource the Warriner School Farm offers a safe environment for children to experience a commercial farm.  There are opportunities all year round to meet and handle livestock, watch farm machinery at work, find out about conservation and land use, and learn at first hand where food comes from.

As part of the programme, we offer a range of craft workshops delivered either here at the farm, or in your own school if preferred.  Workshops can be arranged to suit a school’s specific requirements and vary in duration from a basic one-hour session to an entire day.  

The Warriner School Farm welcomes visits from other schools, community and pre-school groups.

Pricing structure for Visits: (2011-2012)

Because of funding from a number of projects of which we are now part, we are now able to offer free visits to most groups.

(Where charging is necessary the prices below are a guide only and may be subject to change.)

Visits to the farm:

  • Your visit may be free otherwise prices start at £2.75 per head (based on a half-day visit - min £50 total)

  • Maximum group size 30

  • Craft workshops given here on site will be priced on the basis of prior discussion depending duration and material costs - minimum £25 per hour

Whilst a visit to the farm provides a memorable experience to all concerned, we realise that for some schools, problems such as prohibitive transport costs or timetabling issues make these trips unrealistic.  We are, therefore, delighted to be able to offer visits to you, in your own school, arranged to specifically meet your needs.

Visits by farm staff to your school or group:

  • Presentation to staff outlining the aims of the farm, our facilities and our education programme: free

  • Talk / slideshow for pupils about the farm or on a specific topic: free or £25.00 per hour

  • Craft workshop (we provide the materials and equipment): £25.00 per hour or £100 per day, plus cost of materials when applicable.

Please note: as a rough guideline, most craft workshops will require a minimum of 1½ - 2 hours per group. Travelling expenses may be charged, depending upon the distance from the Farm.
