Sessions are small and relaxed, with space for up to 8 people.
Morning sessions include free hot drinks and cakes or pastries.
Afternoon sessions include free sandwiches or quiches, plus hot drinks. -
Every session includes time to spend with and handle the animals. For everyone’s safety, please only pick up an animal if a Noah’s ART staff member supports you.
