Rufford School Visits

Rufford Abbey Country park provides an ideal outdoor classroom and we welcome school visits. Education services are led by our on site ranger team and focus on history and the environment. Rufford has three important wildlife habitats: woodland, wetland and grassland.

Activity sessions are two hours long and designed for one class with a maximum of 35 children. If you wish to bring two classes, rangers will offer a one hour session to each class.
