Use our resources to enjoy the self-guided part of your visit or to bring smaller groups of children
We are fully booked for guided learning workshops for this academic year. We still have availability for self-guided visits. Bookings are now open for Guided Learning Workshops for the next academic year, September 2026 to July 2027.
Bring your children to enjoy the gardens independently, taking part in your own activities or using our self-guided resources.
As well as the full programme of taught sessions at Harlow Carr, there is the opportunity for you to explore the garden on a self-guided visit
Children will get more out of their visit if they are in small, adult-led groups and have an activity to focus on
We have a collection of self-guided resources (below) for teachers to use on their visit to the garden
Most areas of the garden are available for use by self-guided groups to eat lunches
All pre-booked educational visits are free of charge. If you feel able to give a donation to the RHS to help support our educational work this would be much appreciated; we ask you to consider a donation of £3 per child for your visit.
Discover our range of materials and activities for self-guided groups to ensure you get the most out of your visit. Perhaps spend some time taking part in a scavenger hunt, identifying plants or solving a maths trail.
Please note: The Bramall Learning Centre can also be booked for off-site revision sessions.
