Birthday Parties

Farmer Bryan will entertain birthday party guests with activities and lots of hand on fun for about an hour and a half. We leave the catering up to the hosts, but reserve our party room for your exclusive use.

Farmer for a Day

Children aged between 8 and 14 can try being a Farmer for a day, taking on the chores such as cleaning out the pigs, feeding the calves, and grooming the small animals. These days must be pre-booked and cost £35.00. Please book as far in advance as possible.

 

Play Time

Our indoor play areas, one with a ball pool, chute, climbing frame and "squeezy tubes" are great fun. The farmer's straw den has lots of straw bales to clamber over and hide behind. There is also an indoor area with eight trampolines, plus our Brio playroom and sandpit for younger children.

Outside are go-carts, table tennis, and a large open play area adjacent to the picnic area
