Terms and Conditions
Lunch Spaceand Weather
It is essential that students are wearing appropriate footwear and clothing for the conditions. Weather conditions can change rapidly and it can get quite muddy and wet in places. There is NO indoor space to eat packed lunches and we have no lunch box storage space. Packed lunches cannot be eaten in the Visitor Centre. Public toilets are located in the Remembrance Centre.
Students’ Behaviour
Thisremains the responsibility of group leaders at all times including lunchtime. Students should be given a structure and focus for the day and be aware of what is required of them. They should be reminded of their responsibilities towards other visitors’ enjoyment of the Arboretum and the sensitivity of the subject matter. You are responsible for providing sufficient adult helpers to satisfy local education authority ratios.
Accompanying adults will be expected to take an active part in the visit. Accompanying adults should be aware of these expectations and have a copy of the timetable. Your assigned guides will not take head counts and, as we are an outdoor site, you are advised to do this on a regular basis. It is recommended that a familiarisation visit to the Arboretum is conducted to discuss the plan for the day and assess the site conditions as this can change throughout the year. Please contact the Learning Team to arrange this. If behaviour is particularly problematic, it may be necessary for our guides to intervene directly to avoid any risk of injury, disturbance or damage to people or property.In the event of disruptive behaviour, the group will be asked to leave the Arboretum.
Accessibility
Please let us know in advance if there are any accessibility requirements for your group; otherwise you should tell your guide on the day if there are any issues, such as medical conditions, that you feel we need to be made aware of.
Timetables
Our activities run in sessions of 45 minutes beginning at 0900, so your day could begin at 0900, 0945, 1030 etc. Please plan to arrive a little before your first session is due to start to allow for disembarking, splitting into groups etc. We may have many groups booked in on the same day so if we adjust your programme it could have a knock on effect. If you know you are going to be late please telephone 01283 245 100 as soon as possible and we will try to accommodate you. Please be aware that due to volunteer guides availability, whilst we will endeavour to deliver the timetable given at confirmation, the timetable is subject to change until the activities begin on the day of your visit.

Photography is welcomed at the Arboretum. Students and young people are encouraged to take photos to remind them of their trip.
