The following information should be everything you need to know to ensure that your child has a fun filled time with us, but if you do have any questions please just get in touch.

 

We have plenty of comfy indoor space at the farms in Slimbridge and Berkeley but we do endeavour to get out and about enjoying nature and visiting the animals as much as possible and the following information and kit list will hopefully mean we are ready for anything:

 

Recommended Clothing

 

    Old comfy clothes + set of spares in a named bag extra pairs of socks are very useful!

 

       Wellie boots for mud play, pond dipping and pony riding (safety helmets and body protectors will  

        be supplied for every child).

        indoor shoes.
