Playbarn

Our Play Barn is fully air conditioned for your comfort, we ask customers to take their shoes off before entering and leave them in the shoe store by the main entrance, this is to avoid bringing any mud into the play area, please remember small children will be crawling on the floor.
We also ask that you leave prams and pushchairs either outside in the Buggy park or by the toilets. 
Please help keep pathways and exits clear in case of an emergency.

Softplay & Toys

Inside the Play Barn we have a soft-play area for children up to 8 years old and a separate soft-play area for toddlers. We have a wide range of learning toys – Little Tikes ride on cars, play kitchens, bouncers, puzzles, dressing up outfits and jumparoo’s.
 

Snack Shack

In the Play Barn is the Snack Shack serving freshly made to order Sandwiches, Baguettes and Panini’s along with children’s lunch boxes, fruit, cakes, crisps, chocolate bars and Ella’s Kitchen baby food pouches. If you are looking for a more substantial meal please head over to our Tea Rooms.

The Farm

We are a family run Petting Farm with over 100 animals including, Pygmy Goats, Alpacas, Sheep, Fallow Deer, Rheas, Pigs, Anglo Nubian Goats, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Ducks, Miniature Pony, Chickens, Miniature Donkeys, Wallabies, Zebra Finch, Budgerigar and Peacocks.

You can purchase a small bucket of feed at the ticket hut and feed most of the animals, the feed is a pellet made of compressed grass so is suitable for most animals but not all, when you are visiting please be aware of all the signs if there is a green happy face you can feed the animals, if there is a red sad face you can not feed these animals today, this may be down to a strict diet or in the case of rabbits & guinea pigs they just can not digest the pellets.

We are an interactive farm and petting the animals is allowed, with exception of the pigs as they are prone to nipping. If you are unsure ask a member of staff.

Trim Trail & Outdoor Play Area

Within the Petting Farm we have 2 separate trim trails, a giant mesh net swing, a tractor themed climbing frame, activity tower with slide and the outdoor play area with farm themed spring rockers, outdoor children’s kitchen and a selection of sensory games.
