Brogdale Collections offer subsidies for school visits

Subsidised travel for school visits this September & October to the National Fruit Collection As part of our fundraising activities we are proud to support schools travel costs to enable you to visit Brogdale Collections and the National Fruit Collection. We want everyone to have the opportunity to experience the farm and learn about fruit farming, pollination, nature, climate, weather and healthy eating. If your school qualifies for support Brogdale Collections can pay the cost of your coach hire or train tickets. We have over 150 acres including orchards, an interactive weather station, farmland and nature areas to explore. Come discover how fruit is grown and how climate and insects play their part. We work with schools and education institutions, offering module days carefully tailored to the Key Stage 1 & 2 curriculum, giving children a fun and interactive day with practical demonstrations and experiences. Children can explore and learn in the environment of the National Fruit Collection, discovering its value as a resource as well as natures, insects and wildlife, evolution, fruit farming, food nutrition and climate.
