IMPORTANT NOTES;
COVID-19 case numbers are now very high and rising rapidly across the country, driven by the new variant of COVID-19.
The Tier system in Wiltshire is set to protect each other and stop the spread of the virus.
At this current time clinically extremely vulnerable children and young people should not attend school or other educational settings, because the risk of exposure to the virus in the community is now very high.

Greetings and welcome to the Caenhill Countryside Centre web site. We are working with communities to bring agriculture and horticulture to children and young people by providing courses and hands on experiences set on a farm.
For media / shoutouts please contact my daughter and PR advisor Kara at media@caenhillcc.org.uk
Our courses and activities cover agriculture, horticulture and rural skills are mainly delivered at the farm but we also take them to schools and to other educational establishments.
Working with schools, we aim to deliver courses that will encourage the enjoyment of farming, animals and the countryside.
The project has opportunities for you to help our students and young adults develop skills in Animals welfare, Crops, Machinery, Rural Crafts, Countryside Heritage, Welbeing, Metal work, Wood work, Conservation and countryside media.
As a charity (Registered Charity Number 1177801) we rely on support from volunteers, funders and supporters.
