Do you home educate your children?
We are running learning sessions throughout the year for home educated children, aged 7-11.
Using the arboretum’s magnificent surroundings, students will have the opportunity to engage creatively with the natural setting. Each event has a different theme and learning activity for the children to immerse themselves in.
These events are specifically designed for children aged 7-11 years, however younger and older siblings are welcome to join in.
Children aged 7-11 years are £6 per child, accompanying children are £4 per child. Two free accompanying adult tickets are available per booking, additional adult tickets are £10 per ticket.
If you require any assistance making a booking, please contact our Customer Relations Team on 0300 068 0400 or customerrelations@forestryengland.uk (Mon-Fri between 9:00am & 5:00pm)
