About Aldingbourne Country Centre
Come along to our Aldingbourne County Centre and eat, drink, laugh and learn together, all whilst helping one of the most innovative charities in the South to make a positive difference to the lives of people with learning disabilites and/or autism.
From the Open Farm to the Woodland Walk - there is so much here to do with your little ones. Play pretend in our role play village, get lost in our maze, climb in our indoor Soft Play areas, speed down our indoor slide and so much more.
Visit us in the school holidays for a jam-packed events plan! Fancy finding hidden dragon eggs for an Easter Egg Hunt with a difference, or meeting some creepy crawlies at our Reptiles day? We have an event for everyone - visit our Events page on our website for upcoming events.
Relax in our Quarry Café, where you can enjoy a homemade cake and hot drink, or even a delicious lunch - all freshly prepared using the best local ingredients and served by a friendly team including those supported by the trust.
We support people with learning disabilities and autism.
Every penny you spend at the Aldingbourne Country Centre goes towards making a positive and meaningful difference to the lives of adults with learning disabilities or autism.
Open Farm with lots of lovely animals you can meet!
Our Open Farm is full of friendly animals who love meeting new people. Visit them up close in their homes and learn about them in the great outdoors. Feed our alpacas, or snuggle our guinea pigs too!
Fancy a rest? Refresh with fresh, homemade lunch (and cake!)
Enjoy our tasty food and drinks - all freshly prepared using the best local ingredients and served by a friendly team, including those supported by the trust. Outdoor and indoor seating available.
