What's at Stirley?

Stirley is our West Yorkshire events base where we are transforming a former dairy farm into a wildlife haven. The buildings are only open for pre-booked events only including our Create Barn. There is a network of footpaths zigzagging across the fields that you can explore at any time, helping you to discover the different habitats and wildlife that Stirey offers!

What to bring/wear

Our events mostly take place outside so brace yourself for the Yorkshire weather! Sturdy footwear is recommended and lots of layers. If it's a hot day, remember a hat and suncream.

In the event of rain, we have indoor facilities avaliable, so the activity can continue.

Toilets and catering

There is an accessible toilet at Stirley, but no facilities serving hot or cold food or drinks.

Covid-19 secure
