Wow! Myself and my friend have just got back from a 2 hour beach ride with Jamie and Chrissy who were fantastic and made the whole experience one to remember! We are both experienced riders and it takes a lot to impress me and I was not disappointed! Fantastic gallops across the beach and being able to go into the sea with the horses was just an unforgettable experience! The horses were so well behaved and we swam out up to our waists and even saw a seal! The beach is beautiful and the horses were fun and safe and well looked after, clearly enjoying their jobs! This is definitely the best beach riding experience around and run by a lovely family team who are friendly and make you feel welcome straight away. I can’t wait to come back... it is so worth the 2 hour trip there and back and I will recommend to everyone! Thank you for an unforgettable ride!

Stunning visitor centre overlooking The Wash which has a cafe providing a great range of snacks and great food. There is also an information centre which runs various events throughout the year. Opening hours are restricted during the winter months and you will need to pay for parking.

Hardys Animal Farm is a great day out in over 7 acres of Lincolnshire countryside yet just 10 minutes walk from the beach, with loads of things to do and animals for you to meet feed and make friends with. It's a great day out, whatever the weather! You can see pigs being born in our specially glazed breeding unit, feed the goats and many other animals, allowing the children to learn about modern farming in a safe and fun environment. We also have baby Lambs, Goats, Cows and Chicks being born throughout the year. There is plenty of space for the kids to run around in our 3 Adventure Playgrounds catering to all ages, while you relax with a hot drink or a bite to eat. Go on a relaxing Cart Ride around the Farm with Fergie the Tractor and then decamp to Haystacks Indoor Playbarn, there are loads of things to do come rain or shine. The Number 3 Bus stops at the end of the farm road, running every 8-10 minutes from Skegness, Ingoldmells, Butlins & Fantasy Island

The volunteers were very helpful and knowledgeable about their chosen subjects (traction engine and world war 1 and 2 memobilia to name a few) It's needs more support ( and better signage) as it is a hidden gem. The exhibits are good. Donation only but well worth the money.

I took my young girls to an evening event and they loved every minute. They started dead on time, the staff were helpful and the food and drinks were as you would expect. This is good down to earth fun, don’t put good clothes on, don’t get in a grump because someone has stood in front of you and expect concrete steps or tyres for seats. My advise is to take seats or a blanket, Face covering for all the fumes and grit if you are going to sit close to the track and expect to get dirty and come home smelling like a garage. All in all it is definitely worth going and we will definitely be going back
