British Science Week: Curiosity – What’s Your Question?
Calling all curious minds! Do you ever look at our animals and think ‘why do you look like that?’
Do you ever ask yourself how old the cobbles are in our yard, or wonder what that complicated looking bit of machinery was once used for?
Bring your farm and heritage related questions and our friendly staff will do our best to answer them!
You can stop a member of staff on the day, pop a question in our post box or ask a question via email and we will get back to you!
While you are here, check out our children’s farm trail and learn about the lives and jobs of the people who lived and worked on the farm in years gone by. Whose job would you have picked?
Admission includes a session in the Play Barn, our new indoor adventure play facility in the old Cow Byre; with two play zones, one for toddlers and one for children up to 12 years old, it’s perfect for families looking for fun whatever the weather.
Make a day of it and book a joint ticket with Temple Newsam House.
