What to Wear
For this session you must have wellies and waterproofs, we can provide some spares if you contact us in advance of your visit.
Acorn Hollow is located on a working farm, which means we work whatever the weather, there may be mud, there may be rain, we might have wonderful bright warm sunshine, and there will be animal poo underfoot in places. Please make sure you wear appropriate clothing, clothes and shoes that are allowed to get muddy are essential. If you have wellies and waterproofs please bring them with you. The more layers you can wear the better, that way we can add or take off layers depending on the weather. During warmer weather please ensure you still wear long trousers or leggings, it would be advisable to apply sun cream before the sessions also as we will be in the sun for much of the time.
Medical Information and Allergies
Please make sure you have informed me of any essential medical information or allergies. We will be providing Hot Chocolate and snacks, we will have ‘Free From’ alternatives if we are told about dietary requirements.
Hand Washing/Safety
Safety instructions will be delivered at the start of the session. We will encourage children to wash and sanitise their hands at various points during the session, please could you ensure you help your children to make sure their hands are washed clean and their boots are washed off before leaving the site.
