About

Educational Visits

Put your pupils at the heart of our farm where they can meet and feed our animals, encounter the countryside and explore the links between the food they eat and our beautiful surroundings, with our fantastic educational trips.

We offer a range of flexible Educational Packages for KS1 and KS2 to GCSE and A-Level.  We also offer tailor-made Numeracy and Literacy activity days for KS1 and KS2.

Our Cooking on the Farm package links food and farming and gives students the chance to produce a healthy meal.

All of our packages are developed on the principle of hands-on learning.

We run seasonal school visits such as for ‘Father Christmas on the Farm’.

Whatever your educational requirements, our Education Team is here to work with your school or group to deliver a fun, exciting and interactive learning experience, with some fresh air and exercise thrown in, minimum group sizes are 15 but please talk to us about your requirements.

If the weather’s wet then our large indoor adventure play area and undercover Milecastle 62 provide entertainment, as does our dedicated under-5’s soft play area for your younger groups.

Groups

Groups of 20 or more people can explore Walby and discover all the fun of the Farm!  We offer a range of flexible Group Packages with 50p off the standard entry price per person if booked before the day.  Visits are ideal for clubs or large multi-generational and extended family groups, and we can also offer exclusive evening visits. 

Travel Trade & Coach Parties

Explore at your own leisure – have fun in our indoor Adventure Barn (one of the largest in Cumbria!) or our undercover attractions, our Roman fort Milecastle62.  Meet the animals in our Animal Barn or have fun in our many outdoor activities if the sun is shining!

Talks and demonstrations can be arranged in advance.  Just let us know what you’d like to see and we can make sure your group has buckets of fun!

The minimum group number is 20 (paying visitors) and a £60 deposit is required.
