Practical advice for school groups
For a smooth and enjoyable visit, it is recommended to divide the class into small groups of around 10 pupils, each supervised by a responsible adult.
Please ensure pupils wear weather-appropriate clothing and comfortable shoes, as the visit takes place outdoors in a natural environment.
To make the most of the experience, we recommend allowing approximately 3 hours on site.
Teachers and accompanying adults remain responsible for their group throughout the visit.
