Educational Encounters
Our mobile farm encounters are currently POSTPONED due to personal circumstances. All current bookings will be honoured and enquiries managed. If you have had large bookings with us previously and were hoping to work with us again this year please enquire via hello@muckybucketfarm.co.uk as we are currently unsure as to how long the mobile farm will be postponed for and may be able to accommodate you.
Cuteness in the classroom
Our animals offer a great opportunity to learn outside. Whether it's nursery children learning their colours and counting or different key stages learning about adaptation and environment. We can adapt our encounters to reflect what's being taught in the classroom.
We know the big kids like the animals too! Maybe your students are looking for an anxiety-busting activity during exam stresses or some confidence-boosting and warm and fuzzy comforts during their first few weeks in Halls. Our animals are fantastic mood enhancers and brighten everyone's day.
You could have our animals visit you and your students or community regularly.
Alpacas one month, small and fluffies the next, check out our monthly cuteness package.
3 hour bucket full farm
If you are looking for a few farmyard friends to visit your students this may be the option for you. You may have some outstanding students that are being offered a special treat or reward.
