We chose this venue for a birthday party for our child today with over 20 children present. I cannot thank the team at Mace Playce enough for all their help and organisation. They made the whole experience stress free and great fun. They contacted us a few days before to confirm numbers and reassured us that we would only be charged for the children that attended on the day. They took care of the party bags also, there was no way we could have got all the bits that were in the party bag for the price they charged. Other parents were telling me that they had not been there before and were very complimentary on the layout, cleanliness and organisation. I would definitely recommend this venue to others!

Great little place for kids at a reasonable price! Our little boy loved it! The farm also has a soft play area and outside area which is very clean. Friendly staff who provided us with wellies (free of charge) as we visited on a muddy day. The main garden centre has a cafe which is very clean and modern with a good selection of food and drinks and friendly staff. It also has a section just for adults.
