Once in the Farm Park, Straw Mountain greets you with slides and tunnels ideal for the adventurous and climbing child.

Included in the 2000 sq. m of undercover facilities is the play barn with pedal tractors, pig bouncy castle and ball pits ideal for their co-ordination and balance. Next is the animal barn where you can take part in a timetable of bottle feeding baby lambs and goats, as well as have the opportunity to handle pigs, guinea pigs and groom ponies, an event every half hour!

Knowledgeable staff oversee these events. The daily cow milking demonstration (with Doreen & Valentine) is informative and entertaining, not to be missed!

Whatever the weather the clean, 2 tier, indoor soft playzones mean you?ll have a great day. There is a dedicated play area especially for toddlers 15mth to 21/2 yr old then a large 2-storey play zone is designed for 2 ? 7year olds.

Outdoor facilities include the large sand play frame area with running water, pedal go karts, cow bouncy castle, outside animal pens, peaceful woodland walk adjacent to the river and maize maze (July-Sept). The tractor-trailer ride is a bumpy experience then you too can say ?I survived the wild trailor ride!?

This should be the 1st attraction you visit if you have children under 8 yrs and want them to have an exciting & busy day out that will be part of your summer memories ? and don?t be surprised if the children are asking to go back tomorrow

The attention to detail in design & customer service, for families with children 8 years and under, is what makes Farmer Palmers stand out above other attractions in the area.

A great place for parents/grandparents to join in or watch their children let off steam, explore and share new experiences whilst getting lots of fresh air.

When it is time to re-fuel the Hen House Restaurant, with it?s brilliant reputation for good quality family meals, is the place to be.

We are sign posted on the left hand side where you need to take the second turning left about 1 mile after the roundabout.
