Award-winning, fun, safe educational events for your children in your school or at a historic venue or museum – guaranteed!
You can be sure that your children will be given the highest quality event in a safe environment because aardvark productions ltd was one of the first companies in the UK to be awarded the Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge
The Quality Badge scheme combines for the first time learning and safety into one easily recognisable badge for all organisations providing learning outside the classroom experiences
Our workshops have all been changed to comply with the new National Curriculum, so that you can still give your students a brilliant experience outside the classroom!
