We welcome bookings not only from schools but many groups including mums and toddlers, brownies, holiday schemes and retirement homes.

Woodside offers a range of daily activities and demonstrations for school visits, educational visits and group trips which are both educational and fun and perfect for groups ranging from Early Years through to KS3, linked to the National Curriculum. Our education staff and all our animals will endeavour to give your class or group a day to remember.

The “hands on” experience has become well established, with a talk being given on the different breeds of animals and birds here at Woodside, and a chance for all to hold some of our residents including baby chicks, rabbits and even goats and see a hand reared owl. 

Or perhaps your group would like to help our staff collecting the eggs from our farmyard free range chickens?  

We have introduced an education room with tables and chairs for the children which will be available for use if pre-booked.

We have  pre visit information sheets which the children can undertake themselves at home or school.

We are also able to arrange talks on specific groups or breeds of animals at the park. Work sheets are available for all groups covering key stages 1 & 2. Let us know if you require any of our work sheets beforehand or if you are covering a certain topic on your syllabus and we will be more than happy to try to help. Samples are available on request.
