Conditions

Visit dates must be agreed and confirmed by a completed booking form up to one month in advance of the booking. Spetchley Park Gardens accepts school visits on Wednesday to Fridays and on Mondays and Tuesdays with advanced notice and at our discretion. Workshops will take place in the Learning Centre and will last for a period of four and a half hours from 10am to 2.30pm.

We invite all teachers to join us for a free pre-visit the week before your visit.

If a booking is cancelled with less than 7 days notice, schools will only be refunded 50% of their deposit. Cancellation must be notified in writing 7 days before the arranged visit. If the school group fails to arrive on the day of the visit, the school will still be expected to pay the full amount due.

We encourage staff and students to enjoy their visit here at Spetchley but we do ask that you:

  • Respect the site, grounds and gardens and other visitors on site during their visit
  • Explore the space safely and play responsibly
  • Have fun!
