The Garden House welcomes visits from school, college and nursery groups across the year.
Cost:
£3.50 per person age 3+ including all staff and helpers on the day.
All bookings must be made in advance and paid for at the time of booking. We allocate a limited number of groups per day and a booking will only be made upon payment.
Self-guided visits mean your group are free to explore the site. We don’t host education workshops and we don’t offer visits where your group can interact with or feed/ muck out the animals or tend to the community garden.
This provision is for our young people on supported placements or attending our Alternative Provision programme.
Please check your school’s finance system before your make an enquiry and ensure you allow plenty of time for invoicing and supplier set up as we can’t reserve your booking without payment.
Booking enquiries need to be made using this form as we are required to keep a bookings register. We will get back to you with availability and arrange an invoice for payment.
Risk Assessments
Schools can review our template risk assessment. We encourage all group leaders to make a site visit ahead of your trip and carry out your own risk assessment for your group.
Coach Parking
Lakes Road is not suitable for coaches and we do not have any coach parking on site. If you are travelling by coach you will need to drop off and collect on Arkwright Road and walk the short extra distance. Please remember to include this in your risk assessment.
