We deliver educational activities for primary school children (aged 4 to 11 years old) and we support adults with learning disabilities in accredited and therapeutic training opportunities.
We also offer courses, workshops and placements and farm experiences to the youth and adults in general.
Schools & Education Providers
We run a range of curriculum linked outdoor education sessions and Forest School sessions (level 3 trained leader) for primary aged children, as well as bespoke programmes and alternative curriculum and work experience placements for youth of all ages including practical sessions in animal care, gardening, cooking, conservation and bushcraft. If you can't make it to us, we can also come to you with an incubator, a chicken or advice about how to maximise your outdoor learning experience, or even deliver sessions at your own space.
Children and Youth
The Farm offers a number of opportunities for 11 to 18 year olds including a weekly youth club, holiday and summer camps, and even Duke of Edinburgh volunteering.
Adults & Volunteer Opportunities
We have a variety of programmes for adults from weekly nature, landscape, gardening and craft sessions at Boiling Wells, gardening and growing opportunities at the Propagation Place to Action Days at our Community Garden, Wellbeing + Practical Skills' Courses for 18 - 25 year olds, Greenspace Wellbeing Sessions for Refugees and Asylum Seekers, and Therapeutic Cooking Sessions for people experiencing mental distress or difficulties of any kind. We also host team challenge days for local businesses and groups.
Supported Farming & Green Care
We provide unique training placements and therapeutic activities in horticulture, gardening and animal care for adults (18+) with learning difficulties or mental health disabilities. Our trainees manage the community garden, harvesting vegetables to sell to the cafe and ensure that our animals and farm site are well catered for.
Seasonal Events
The farm loves a good celebration — especially when it gets us outdoors. Come and join us for one of our seasonal events at Boiling Wells or make a date and head to the Farm Summer Fair. As well as having a great time, you'll be helping us to raise vital funds that support our activities.
