Ferring Country Centre
New Horizons for People with Learning Difficulties

The Ferring Country Centre is an independent charity which provides meaningful work experience and training for adults with learning difficulties.The Centre allows them to learn in a safe and supervised environment within our Riding Therapy Unit, Garden Centre and Arts & Crafts Workshop. We afford our Clients the opportunities others take for granted, like driving and helping others less able than themselves. The Centre was established in 1986 by a small group of parents who saw the need to provide choices for those who could not cope with indoor activities and would benefit from work in an outdoor situation.

We are open 7 days a week Monday – Friday 8.00 am – 4.30 pm.
(Please note the garden centre is open Saturday/Sunday 8.30-12noon April-October)
