School Groups

We’re excited for you to bring your group to Wake The Tiger!

In collaboration with education specialists, Learning Everywhere (CIC), we have created a self-led education programme, ‘Dreamed Of Being…‘. So, as well as having a lot of fun in the world’s first Amazement Park®, there are activities aimed at Key Stage 1, 2 & 3, exploring the idea of being an Artist, Author or Scientist.

You can explore these activities by clicking below.

FAQs

You should allow a minimum of 2 hours for your trip, however you are only limited by our closing time as to how long you stay here. You can also go round the experience as many times as you like.

The experience is non-linear, so no one journey has to be the same, which is the beauty of the experience; a true self-exploration of an alternate world.

We recognise this is sometimes not ideal when trying to organise large groups. We do have our accessibility maps which can help map out meeting points and flows.

There are no limitations to the size of group, other than we allow up to 70 people into the experience per 30 minutes to manage the flow effectively, so if your party is larger than this we would have to stagger your entry.

We offer a number of free places for teachers, that apply to both school and home ed groups. See the ratio split below.

  • 1 free teacher ticket per 10 adult (aged 16+) tickets purchased
  • 1 free teacher ticket per 8 child (aged 5-15) tickets purchased
  • 1 free teacher ticket per 3 under 5 years old tickets purchased

For SEND school groups the ratio is on a case-by-case basis.

Please also note Student tickets are only valid for those in higher education (college or above) who hold a valid Student ID card and book themselves via General Admission here. Cannot be used in conjunction with any other offers, discounts or promotions, including the school discounts mentioned above.

We require a 50% deposit to secure the booking and the remainder to be paid at least one week before arrival. Payment can be made via secure payment link that we send to your chosen email address, or by BACS. Please note that tickets are non-refundable and we require a minimum of 48 hours notice to amend the date and/or time of the booking.

We currently do not have a dedicated lunch area for schools and only food & drink purchased in the Guildhall Café Bar may be consumed on site (other than baby food or for medical reasons). However, for the warmer months, Sparke Evans Park is just across the road from Wake The Tiger that can be used for picnics.

Yes. We invite one person to come free of charge to walk the experience, in order to get a feel for the spaces and if you need to complete a risk assessment.

Please note we have created a risk assessment which you can access below, however we do not complete risk assessments on someone else’s behalf.
