Frequently asked questions

We can cater for group sizes from 5 people to around 30, and we’ll tailor the activities according to the size of your specific group or groups.

The only thing we ask for is a small donation per head to cover the costs if you want the day catered. This will change year to year so please ask when inquiring.

Otherwise there is no cost to the day. If your company are able to donate to some of our amazing projects, then great, but we also just appreciate the time and effort you give.

We ask all volunteers to bring sturdy boots, waterproofs and bottles for water. If the weather becomes inclement, we have a few cosy bothies located around the estate to retreat to for a hot drink

We will provide tea and coffee on arrival. At lunchtime, we will provide a light lunch in one of the castle reception rooms. We can cater for any special dietary requirements and will request this via a booking form prior to the day.
