The Rangers offer a variety of subjects suited to a range of age groups, linked to the school national curriculum:

The Ranger team can adapt these sessions to the abilities and needs of your group. Please see our Education Booklet 2023 for more information.
Coach Parking
Coach parking and our indoor education space are included in the cost of booking a Ranger-led education session.
If you are planning a self-led visit, there is a charge of £30 per coach (please note that anything larger than an 18-seater is classed as a coach). This is effectively an admission charge for use of the facilities and it applies when large groups are dropped off, or when the coach stays on site.
There is limited coach parking available so please contact us to book your space (01933 625522).
For self-led visits, the education room can be booked separately too – please enquire at info@rftrust.org.uk.
