Enjoy a fantastic day out at the Aldingbourne Country Centre, and support people with learning disabilities and autism.
Meet the lovely animals on our Open Farm, and take part in guinea pig snuggling, alpaca and pig feeding. Step into Cherry Tree Village, our rural-themed role play area, and let your imaginations run free with props and outfits to try on. Wander through the Maze, explore the Soft Play Rooms, ride Mini Tractors, or challenge each other to a game of Mini Crazy Golf. Relax in the Book Nook, venture through the Woodland Walk, or get creative in the Water & Play Area. There's so much to discover!
Our Greenhouses are filled with a wide variety of plants and flowers, lovingly cared for by our Horticulture team. They provide a welcoming space for the people we support to learn practical gardening skills, while also building confidence through customer service and sales.
Relax in our Quarry Cafe, where you can enjoy a homemade cake and hot drink, or even a delicious lunch - all freshly prepared using the best local ingredients and served by a friendly team including those supported by the trust. We even have an indoor slide to keep the little ones entertained!
