Just Act Natural: be in nature, be yourself. - Day Event

As part of our partnership with the Magdalen Environmental Trust we have secured a day visit for Escape members only. Come and join us for a day 10am - 3pm full of fun and learning!  Spaces are limited and on a first come first serve basis. Due to funding requirements this is for families with a child UNDER 25 with an additional need/disability ONLY.

As there is no Play Day at Apex this year, we have been able to allocate some funding from Hub Club to further subsidise the already low cost of the day.

Just £5pp* (all attendees require a ticket). Tickets are for those on your membership only and are non-refundable. Transport is NOT provided. Please read the below information from the farm as to what to expect on the day

*plus fees

Thanks to funding from The National Lottery Community Fund we are excited to be able to provide a progression of our very popular families on the farm with Just Act Natural: be in nature, be yourself . A special event specifically designed to give families living in the South West of England with a child/young person (under 25) with learning difficulties or a disability an opportunity to spend quality time together and meet others in similar situations.

This event is an opportunity to spend quality time with your family in a beautiful rural setting. Our experienced team will be there to guide you through activities that are tailored to suit all ages and abilities, so everyone can enjoy themselves.

 Activity Information 

The event runs from 10am to 3pm. You will have the opportunity to take part in activities around the farm which could include animal care, gardening, cookery, being creative and exploring nature. Learning about the things around us and our environment in a fun and supportive way. We will tailor the event to suit the needs of the individuals in the group so it is important you let us know in advance of any requirements you and your family may have.

About Us 

Magdalen is a working organic farm set in the glorious countryside of Dorset & Somerset.

At the heart of our farm is an education centre from which we offer activities with accommodation and delicious meals. Our aim is to encourage as many people as possible from all walks of life to enjoy the great outdoors.

 All Terrain Wheelchair Hire 

On-site we have 3 all-terrain wheelchairs (bookable in advance) to help those less able guests to get around the farm.

We also have a dedicated "Changing place" for those that may need it (please bring your own hoist if required).

Please book a wheelchair ticket if you require one.

We understand just how important it is for families with a child who has learning difficulties or disabilities to have access to enjoyable experiences that provide them with opportunities to meet others in similar situations.

That’s why we’ve put together this unique event which allows families of all shapes and sizes to come together in a supportive environment, share experiences, learn new skills and have lots of fun!
