Group Visits

Whether you're a coach company looking for a lunch stop, a community group looking for an outing or a family looking for something to do for a birthday or just a get together, we'll welcome you to the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre and do what we can to help - all the basics are given below.

Information on Educational visits or Children's Birthday Parties can be found by following the appropriate link.

All we ask is that you give us a ring to let us know you're coming and to give us the chance to find out exactly what you'd like and how we can help you get the most out of your visit - ring us for a chat!
