    Your child will need to bring lunch with them. They may also want to bring a change of clothes.

    Is there parking?

    Yes! We have plenty of free and accessible parking. If you're worried about accessibility, please email hello@butserancientfarm.co.uk for advice.

    Where should I go on the day?
