As a working research institute, we are limited in how many visitor groups we can host each year, and in the size of those groups. We therefore reserve the right to decline a visit request if it is not relevant to our mission or if we are unable to provide staff members to host.
Both our main sites occasionally run open days when multiple groups may visit and meet a range of experts. Details are publicised in advance. If an open day is planned, you may be asked to plan your visit to coincide with that day.
For outdoor visits, you can expect to walk over rough farmland. If anyone in your party has mobility issues, please notify us in advance. Please also bring suitable outdoor clothing.
For some visitors, there may be a charge to cover room hire and staff time. Once the form below has been submitted, we will send you notification if a charge is to be levied.
Our scientists are always happy to share their expertise, but cannot necessarily offer specific solutions to day-to-day farming challenges as our strategic research often needs further development before it can deliver successful market-based solutions.

If you wish to visit the NWFP please complete the visit request form found here. We will assess your request and contact you to arrange a visit or to provide you with details of upcoming open days.

If you want to check in advance of submitting a visit request, please call / email Melanie Wright or Jane Hawkins
