Group size: maximum of 50 children

Cost: The cost varies depending on the locality of the centre and whether milage and accomodation costs need to be added. Presently we are seeking funding and sponsorship to be able to cover these costs. The cost of the performance on it's own is $200. If centres are interested you could contact your local farm related services to see if they could cover petrol and accomodation costs.
