Learning Experiences
Sixth Form, Further and Higher Education
We create bespoke visit packages for Sixth Form, College and University students to inspire a variety of areas of study.
Catering and Hospitality
Students can use organic fruit and veg from our grounds to cook fresh food, and gain a first hand understanding of the benefits of local, seasonal and organic ingredients. Our centre also offers a special venue for students to put on events such as supper clubs and pop up restaurants.
“It was so wonderful to meet other teachers in person and share ideas and experiences. It was so helpful and really inspired me to cook more with my class.”

- Continuing Professional Development
Horticulture
We can support students in gaining first-hand knowledge and understanding of organic growing techniques and the benefits and challenges involved.
Architecture & Landscape Design
Our Education Centre is an inspiring example of sustainable building design! It includes:
- 350 load-bearing straw bales
- 400 recycled car tyres
- Designed to reflect the natural landscape around it.
Students are welcome to come and look around, and take inspiration for their own design practice.
Sustainability
Tuppenny Barn is an ideal case study for students interested in local, ethical, sustainable business practice. We use sustainable energy and make an effort to recycle and reuse whenever possible, aiming to reduce our waste and ecological footprint. As a social enterprise, we also rely on the support of partner organisations and funding but our aim is always to be self-sustaining as we grow.
