PLANNING A GROUP OR EDUCATIONAL VISIT TO TAM O'SHANTER FARM?
THIS INFORMATION IS DESIGNED TO HELP TEACHERS AND OTHER GROUP LEADERS PLANNING A VISIT TO TAM O’SHANTER URBAN FARM. IT OUTLINES THE BASIC FACILITIES AND ACTIVITIES AVAILABLE.
Visiting groups can organize their own activities or utilize the farm's activity and information sheets. Guided walks may be available to small groups subject to staff availability.

CLOTHING AND WEATHER
It is recommended that children arrive suitable dressed for the weather and ground conditions. Although the paths around the farm are surfaced it can be muddy in places. Activities will continue in all but the worst weather conditions but if you decide not to come please contact us as soon as possible.
Remember in hot, sunny weather children will need sun protection.
SUPERVISION
Teachers/group organizers are expected to accompany all groups of children and are responsible for maintaining discipline. Please keep close supervision of children so they do not disturb other users, wildlife or farm animals. Visitors are requested not to feed the farm animals unless permission is given by farm staff as it can disrupt their diet and may cause illness.
