We welcome schools, colleges and universities to explore YSP on a teacher-led visit. It is essential that all groups book in advance as capacity is limited.

Once your booking is confirmed, we will provide your group with an information pack containing all the practical information you will need for your visit and a full site risk assessment. We cannot guarantee availability for last minute bookings so please try to give as much notice as possible.
