Centre Activities
Check out our exciting programme of activities at the Centre.
We deliver a range of nature inspired, historical, and reminiscence workshops with many designed specifically for mainstream schools (KS1 and 2) or SEND provision. Most of our mainstream school workshops last for two hours. These normally run from 10am-12 noon or 1pm-3pm, but these times are flexible to allow for groups’ arrival or departure times. We do adjust the times and length of workshops to suit groups with special educational needs and disabilities, most of these last around 1.5hrs. Within each of the workshops below you will find a link to book. We have a live availability calendar so you can check the date you require is available before filling out the booking form. Once we have received your form, we will be in touch to confirm your booking.
