Schools & Young People

Text only page

Each year thousands of people visit Nene Park. Many  come on a visit organised by their school or as a member of a group.

This section is aimed at those people thinking about making or organising a visit with a school or group. If you are simply looking for something for a young person to do, don’t forget all the activities in the “Things to do and see” section.

Many of them are suitable for or aimed at children and young people and many of the Clubs extend a particular welcome to them to try or join in their activities.

There are two rooms available for hire; both are located in the central area of Ferry Meadows. Download Room Hire information - click here

Two cafés in Ferry Meadows offer a range of light meals and drinks but cannot accommodate groups bringing their own refreshments. They would appreciate advance notice if you are intending to make use of them on your visit.

There are two adjoining lakeside campsites in Ferry Meadows specifically for groups. They are used by Schools, DoE Award groups, Scouts & Guides and other organised clubs, especially those wishing to participate in activities at the nearby Watersports Centre,  please contact us for details and bookings.

There are also camping facilities at the Caravan Club Site located at Ferry Meadows, please see their website for details.

Even if you require nothing from the Trust for your visit and do not wish to use any of the facilities, it is useful to know that a group is visiting. A telephone call or email to us to let us know in advance of your visit would be appreciated.

Practical Matters
Wet weather shelter in the park is very limited and we do recommend that visiting groups advise their members of this so that they come prepared.

Sensible footwear and clothes appropriate to the weather are recommended.

Their safety and behaviour is the responsibility of the group leaders.

Water is a feature of Nene Park and of Ferry Meadows in particular. Care should be taken on and around the banks especially when the grass is wet.

We are always looking at ways of improving our facilities and services and welcome any suggestions you may have please email visitor.services@neneparktrust.org.uk
