Thank you for your interest in visiting Hinchingbrooke Country Park for an educational experience.
While much of the information on this page is aimed at school visits, we welcome a wide range of groups, including home educators, Cub Scouts, Brownies and other youth groups.
We can tailor a variety of activities to suit your group’s needs and learning objectives, with opportunities to explore the diverse habitats and natural environment of our beautiful country park.
Whether you’re looking to support a specific curriculum topic or simply want to give your group the opportunity to learn outdoors, we can help create a visit to suit you.
For more information about the activities available or to discuss your requirements, please email events@huntingdonshire.gov.uk.
