Looking for a great day out with the kids? With indoor and outdoor play zones, friendly animals to look at, and the chance to learn about life on a working farm, the adventure begins the minute you pass through our farm gates.
During December, you can visit PLAY on a standalone ticket or you can pre-book for our Christmas adventure, Jingle Ville (which includes PLAY admission).

By design, we’ve tried to make the experience as accessible as possible so that everyone can join in the fun, with lift access to the first floor of the playbarn and accessible walkways and paths all around the site.
Our quieter, low-capacity sessions take place on Friday evenings during school term time and holidays.
This Christmas, our quieter Jingle Ville session is on 15th December; please book in advance. The event details are available here.
There will not be a quieter session in PLAY on 15th or 22nd December.
