We are a unique and exceptional education Centre in the heart of Richmond Park.
We bring learning about Science, Nature and History to life for all. We specialise in providing outstanding workshops for schools and delivering bespoke sensory sessions for children and adults with special educational needs and disabilities.
We have nearly 8,500 visitors a year from school groups, young people and adults
Our exceptional educational programmes explore science, nature and history
We run activities suitable for mainstream and specialist schools, and for community groups, particularly those with special educational needs and disabilities.
The Centre occupies buildings behind Holly Lodge, which is the site of an 18th century farm. We are to the rear of the yard, behind the Parks management offices and stables. The whole area is secure and wheelchair-accessible, with car parking available.
