We had many enquiries about the Farm Visits to Woodgate Valley. Places filled up very quickly. We have a waiting list for places. Everyone who has enquired has been added to the waiting list.
Meanwhile, here are some great alternatives for SEND families to book now:

FREE DISC GOLF at Ackers Adventure in Sparkbrook every weekday in August except Monday 25 – a great day out on a day that suits you.
