Groups & Schools



The Hop Farm - A whole new experience at Kent’s friendliest attraction.
We welcome groups of all ages and have added activities such as free dray rides or tractor rides and ‘up close experience with the Shires’ that can be booked in advance for your group to enjoy.
We also have a new pottery and craft centre, where you can make your own greetings card, personalised badge or paint a piece of pottery with your own unique design.
Lunch facilities are available in our restaurant with a choice of hot and cold food and as a treat we also offer cream teas!
Under new ownership The Hop Farm has undertaken an extensive programme of investment restoring many of the features that make it so special, adding new experiences for all visitors.
The Hop Farm is home to the largest collection of Victorian Oast houses in the world and they have been sympathetically renovated and upgraded to house an abundance of fresh new attractions.
New attractions include our interactive Hop Story museum, Yesterday's village instilling memories of days gone by, Legends in Wax exhibition with stars of screen, stage and sport and our spectacular Shire Horses with a gentle ride in our dray.
You can book your group and school visits online. Please click on the booking forms on the left hand menu.
