Bring your home school family to RHS Harlow Carr for a workshop of discovery. Taking place in the Bramwell Learning Centre and outside, these workshops are designed for home-educating families, with curriculum-adjacent sessions for each key stage.
Families can book themselves onto the activities that fit with their own home learning. Each workshop gives young people the opportunity to learn practically, outdoors and to experience plants and the garden first-hand.

These workshop activities are designed for the age group specified, however, we understand that on occasion, it may be necessary to bring a child outside of this age range and it is important that you book a place for them.
Booking is essential, as numbers are limited. You will need to book for every person in your family group. A booking for these workshops is for one learner with an accompanying adult (up to two per family). Accompanying adults are responsible for their children at all times.
As places are limited, we ask that you only book two workshops per academic year.
Please note: Garden admission is included in the booking for the workshop and you are welcome to explore the garden before or after your session. We allow a maximum of two adults to attend the workshop per family.
