Schools Hounslow

The Great Barn is West London's largest indoor play center. It's a magical space filled with adventure, exploration, and play, perfect for children and families. To access the indoor barn as part of your school visit, speak to the team to add this onto your day. There is a charge per child for access.

500 is the biggest school group we have booked to date, so numbers are not an issue. However, we will always insist that there is a minimum 15 to qualify as a school visit, with a ratio of 1 adult for every 5 children.

If you'd like to bring additional adult/s, simply buy them their own additional general admission ticket. If you have a very small school or only want to treat a very select number of pupils, then 15 is the minimum. All bookings need to be made in advance.

As long as you like, essentially! On off-peak days, we open at 10am and close at 5:30pm (teachers – if you manage that long we will give you a special medal!)

Yes - visit the Merchant's Shop, where there are lots of fabulous souvenirs that can be purchased. Our shop is not big, so we ask that you visit in small groups, and that all children are supervised.

We have a risk assessment and guidelines that can be found on the Hobbledown website under Educational visits. Please click here to download a copy.

All invoices need to be paid in full 14 days before your visit. Bookings will be cancelled 14 days before where payment has not been received.
The cancellation of bookings can be honoured up to 4 weeks before the booking date with no charge.
Please note the below charges if cancellations are required closer to the booked date:
Bookings cancelled within 28 days of their booking date - 50% of the invoice amount will be payable.
Bookings cancelled between 14 & 28 days of the booking - 75% of the invoice amount will be payable.
