Meet the Wolves at Open Day!

Sunday 17th June 10am - 5pm. Free Parking.

Ticket Price includes entry to the Animal Park and Gardens.

TV’s celebrity Wolf Man, Shaun Ellis, renowned for his canine psychology skills, will be using his pack of wolves to show visitors the balance between the domestic and the wild side of dogs.

The day offers the perfect opportunity to find out more about the wide range of courses offered at the college, from outdoor adventure and animal conservation to business and IT. Visitors can talk to tutors during interactive activities – while children can collect the set of six free fun Kingston Maurward College badges as they visit each academy.

Fun-filled attractions include kayaking, climbing wall, football demos, tractor rides, heavy horses, forgework, tree climbing country crafts, dog show sponsored by Scats, water zorbing, funfair and all day live music courtesy of The Thomas Hardy School bands and other artists.

Events will be held throughout the day in the Animal Park, the 750-acre grounds and 18th Century Manor House – plus exclusive Mini Wedding Fair, Floristry Competition, Mini Golf and delicious Cream Teas and Jazz on the terrace.

Dogs welcome but must be kept on a lead.

Opens at 10am. Free Parking.
