Once we announce our opening date and opening hours, booking an appointment will  be required. This will allow us to make sure one of our experts are on hand  to show you around and answer your questions.

At the truffle centre, you will be able to visit our truffle orchard and learn about how we use trees and science to grow truffles. You can also see our truffle museum and our laboratory, where we are running a UKRI funded project on carbon negative food production. 

Get in touch by email, let us know your plans and date of event, then we can work on this together. 

We hope to run, in collaboration with our team of dedicated hunters, hunting experience days, and truffle dog training courses.
