Thank you for your interest in educational visits to Hinchingbrooke Country Park.
Most of the information on this page refers to school visits, but our activities can be made to suit all groups including home educators, Cub Scouts, Brownies, and youth groups. Please email Enquiries@firefliesforestschool.co.uk with your enquiry.
For school visits, and many other educational events, we are working together with our friends at Fireflies Forest School to provide excellent tailored school visits.
We can organise a wide range of activities, to meet any curriculum need, in the varied habitats of our beautiful park.
If you require further information about the activities available, please email Enquiries@firefliesforestschool.co.uk
