Group Visits
We hope you will consider Finkley Down Farm for your visit. Many nurseries, pre-schools, primary and junior schools come back year after year, as there is plenty to see and do whatever your chosen topic, and makes a great end of term reward.
There's lots of hands on learning with children able to touch and feed the animals. Check up our daily activities timetable which the children can join in on the visit.
Pre-booked groups of 15 paying persons will get the following discount rates:
| Person Type | Price |
|---|---|
| Adults | £6.00 |
| Senior Citizens / Students | £5.50 |
| Children | £5.00 |
| Under 2s | FREE |
One adult is admitted FREE for every 5 paying children as part of a group booking.
We will issue you with an invoice on arrival based on the actual number of admissions. Group leaders can then make en-bloc payment, and will be given day pass stickers to take back to the coach to stick on children, who can then fast track through the entrance.
To check for availability and book please telephone 01264 324141.
