School Visits

We actively encourage school groups to visit Pensthorpe, and to use the reserve as a giant, outdoor classroom from which to explore the wonderful wildlife and natural surroundings. We are pleased to be able to offer school parties a range of additional benefits to enhance their visit:

• A competitive group rate. One teacher or parent helper enters free for every six children
• A complementary ticket for up to two teachers, to enable staff to familiarise themselves with the reserve and to prepare for their school party prior to their visit
• Suggested itineraries
• A range of additional activities, including our Bug Walk and Wildlife Tracker Trail
• Generic risk assessment
• Free coach parking
• Free entry for your coach driver
• A food voucher for your coach driver to redeem in our Courtyard Café
• The option to pre-book guided tours, walks and talks (additional charges may apply).

Please contact us if you would like to get in touch to discuss a school booking, so that we can ensure that your visit to us is a memorable day for all concerned; full of fresh air, wildlife and adventure.

Please note that all school bookings are group led.
