Experience Butser in a new way!
Is your child imaginative, curious, and energetic? Do they like being outside, trying new things, and getting hands-on with fun activities? Send them on a time-travelling adventure at Butser Ancient Farm and let them find out for themselves! A special one-off day this half-term while the Farm is closed to the general public, with plenty of sitewide fun.
Get hands-on and dig for ancient artefacts across the site. Working with others, take part in a variety of themed wide games in and around our reconstructed ancient buildings including aqueducts, a secret message hunt, orienteering, rune puzzles and ‘thieves and vagabonds!’ Enjoy a fireside tale before cooking your own bread over the fire, help to build a clunch wall and play different games with new friends. All set in and around the ancient structures of our unique site.
Make the most of the activities running throughout the day, or use the variable drop off 9-10 and variable pickup 4-5, following our usual format.
Run by knowledgeable and experienced educators who are DBS checked and First Aid trained.

More information
What should I wear?
Something practical! Comfortable shoes good for the outdoors, plenty of layers if it's cold, wet weather gear if it's rainy, and clothes you don't mind risking getting a little mucky. This workshop will likely be held both inside and outside, except in the case of extreme weather.
Should I bring anything to the day camp?
You will need to bring a packed lunch, snacks, and a water bottle
Is there parking?
Yes! We have plenty of free and accessible parking. If you're worried about accessibility, please email hello@butserancientfarm.co.uk for advice.
Where should I go on the day?
Just head to the entrance kiosk and show us your ticket as normal. We'll help with where to go after that!
