Primary School Tours at Sonairte

Due to staffing availability, School Tours are not available this May June 2026

Join us for an outdoor adventure in Sonairte’s magical garden, and learn about our connection to the natural world – through the air we breath, the water we drink and the soil where we grow our food!

Our Primary School Tours take place across 10 acres, including the walled garden, courtyards, forest trail and river walk. Children gain insights into their abilities and themselves through the fun exploration in the outdoors.

Activities include:

Garden Based Activities 

Learning about our connection to the soil – that soil isn’t just dirt – it’s teaming with life. Beneath our feet, a bustling world of bacteria, fungi, and microorganisms is hard at work, creating the perfect environment to grow the food we need to survive. Learn about sowing seeds, nuturing them in poly tunnels, and potting them on when they are stronger. Learn about pollination, and creating the right environment for your garden.

Nature Based Games

Children use their senses to explore the forest with fun games, including tree and leaf identification, mirror walking, and bat & moth games.

Nature Based Crafts

In the Seomra Glas we do a range of crafts which may include eco-printing, clay and model making using materials that we find in the forest. 

Picnic tables in the cafe courtyard provide a great place for having lunch, and the playground for some time out.

We have options for rainy days too!
