High Weald Dairy run popular 1 day cheese making courses and cheese dairy tours for groups of 4-15 people. The courses will teach you to make cheese using simple equipment often available in the kitchen. It is a very much hands on course, feeling the changes that occur turning milk into curds and whey and finally cheese. During the day we have a tour of the dairy, to see how cheese is made on a larger scale. Cheese is available to purchase directly from the dairy during the week, please call first if you plan to come at the weekends, as we are not always available. Booking in advance is advised.

Within the 3000 sq feet tropical flight area we have created an environment which is carefully controlled and monitored to ensure perfect conditions for our live butterflies. The high temperature and humidity is created not only for the hundreds of tropical butterflies, but to also sustain the tropical plants and flowers needed to enable the butterflies to feed, breed and lay their eggs. The habitat of the butterflies has been reconstructed at our butterfly farm in such a way as to allow visitors an insight into the fascinating way of life of these amazing insects.
