The same walk, for a room full of people.
A guided version of the virtual walk, run live for a class, a club, a ward or a common room. Forty minutes, somebody who works here doing the talking, and questions throughout rather than at the end.
Who this is actually for.
Three groups ask for this and all three get it free: state schools, care homes, and hospital wards. Between them they are most of the people for whom "come and visit" is not a real option, which is the same problem this whole section exists to solve.
Everybody else — clubs, societies, companies, a village hall with a projector — is welcome and is asked for a contribution to the schools programme instead of a fee. What that contribution is is up to you and nobody chases it.
It is run live rather than recorded because the questions are the point. A recording of somebody walking round a farm already exists, in five series, on Prime Video, and it is considerably better made than anything we would do on a video call.
When it runs.
Four slots a day, four days a week, and the ones marked gone are genuinely gone rather than held back.

Pick a time and we will hold it for ten minutes. Ask for this slot
This is a demonstration build. The picker is real interface and sends nothing, because there is nothing behind it to send to.
How it goes.
You tell us who is in the room
Ages, numbers, and anything we should know. A ward is a different forty minutes from a Year 4 class.
We send one link
No account, no app, no download. It opens onto the walk.
Somebody who works here talks for forty minutes
Walking the same twelve stops, in the same order, with the plates on screen.
Questions throughout
Not saved to the end. The questions are the reason to do this live rather than send a video.
We leave the pages behind
Every stop stays where it is, with a URL that will not change, so a teacher can use it again next term.
