Be Inspired by The Little Red Hen

At Chiltern Open Air Museum, we have a range of immersive school learning experiences.

Our educational leaders bring this The Little Red Hen themed day to life with hand-on activities. The workshops take place in or around our historic buildings, giving students a unique and authentic experience.

This themed day is suitable for both EYFS and KS1 students.

The Little Red Hen Day

Using the classic fable The Little Red Hen by Mary Mapes Dodge as our inspiration, come and visit the COAM farm for an immersive learning experience designed for schools. Students will enjoy hands-on activities, from cutting wheat to butter-making, act out the story and experience the arable farm-to-table process, ending with making their own bread. Perfect for sparking curiosity and creativity in young minds!

Cost per group of up to 32 students and 6 accompanying adults: £475 

Available: February to November
