FUN SCHOOL TRIPS
An Unforgettable School Trip — Learning Comes to Life at the Farm
Our school trips are only £8.80 per child including VAT (minimum 20 children)*. Teachers and carers go free — we allow 1 adult per 4 children.
Bring learning out of the classroom and into the fresh air at Swithens Farm. Our school visits offer children the chance to meet animals, explore a real working farm and learn through hands-on experiences — all in a safe, friendly and welcoming environment just outside Leeds.
