We visited this farm this Sunday for the morning session. We arrived around 10 and were initially concerned by how busy the car park was, however that proved to be completely unnecessary once we got inside as it was clear numbers have been restricted and we never felt crowded on the farm. I was so impressed with how the farm have implemented measures to be Covid secure. All of the attractions have hand sanitiser, limited numbers (some of which, such as the bouncing pillows, are enforced by staff), social distancing markers and staff cleaning all rides between gos. I felt so safe all day thanks to this careful planning. There is a great range of activities including various rides (tractor, train like thing), a maize maze, sand pit (bring your own bucket) along with lots of animals that we purchased food for and fed as we went round. We stayed until half 1 and had an absolutely brilliant time!

This really is a hidden gem, set in wonderful surroundings with refreshments available before, after and during your film, it is the perfect cinema experience. Everything is great from the intimate cinemas with comfy seats, drinks holders and plenty of legroom to the informal cafe bar where you can enjoy a coffee or alcoholic beverage, a snack or a full meal with table service. Our visits always feel like a special occasion. Highly recommended.

I regularly bring my grandchildren here. A very clean and well designed soft play experience for the kids. Would recommend to all. We have also had a birthday party here which was extremely well organised by the friendly staff. Not a bad experience for the adults either with excellent food and tasty coffee!
