About National Forest Adventure Farm
At the National Forest Adventure Farm, there's a barnyard full of fun waiting for the whole family! What started as a simple maize maze and funfield back in 2004 has grown into one of the Midlands' most-loved family attractions, with acres of outdoor adventure, indoor play and animal encounters to enjoy.
Farmarama 2026
Farmarama runs from 18 July to 1 September 2026, bringing a beach party theme to National Forest Adventure Farm. Families can enjoy 5 gigantic paddling pools, over 250 tonnes of sand, seaside shows, beach-themed crafts, the Maize Maze, a daily foam party at 4:30pm, indoor soft play, outdoor adventure zones, animal areas, tractor rides and the Barrel Stampede.
Mega Slide Mountain is available as a paid extra, with height restrictions applying. It costs £1 per go or £5 for an unlimited wristband, and riders must be over 107cm.
Outside, the adventure never stops. Take on the famous Maize Maze, race around the twisting track on the Farmular One Pedal Go-Karts, bounce to new heights on the Jumping Pillows (with a dedicated pillow for under 8s!), and test your skills on the Assault Course. Navigate the wooden Musical Maze to find hidden instruments, dig for dinosaur bones at Jurassic Canyon, and play a round of Secret Garden Adventure Golf - all included in your ticket price! Thrill-seekers will love the Mega Slide Mountain - the UK's longest outdoor tubing slide (open Easter to end of Summer Holidays, additional charge applies). Round off your outdoor adventures with a ride on the Barrel Stampede or the beloved 'Spot the Sheep' Tractor & Trailer Ride.
When you need a break from the fresh air, head indoors to the massive soft play area, featuring three towering slides and a dedicated zone for younger children - perfect whatever the weather. The Farmhouse Kitchen serves freshly cooked food daily, with vegetarian, vegan, halal and gluten-free options, so there's something for everyone. Picnic benches and covered areas are dotted around the site if you'd prefer to bring your own.
The Farm opens seasonally across a packed calendar of events, from the Easter Eggstravaganza and Summer's Farmarama through to the spooky Screamfest and magical North Pole Adventure at Christmas. Check the website for upcoming dates and book online to save £2.50 per person!

We open for several events including the likes of ‘Easter Eggstravaganza’, our Summer event ‘Farmarama’, our evening attraction ‘Screamfest’, the magical Christmas experience ‘North Pole Adventure’ plus many more! Check out our upcoming events to see when we’re next open and what will be on offer!
Huge Indoor Soft Play!
The adventure continues indoors with our massive indoor soft play area. With three towering slides and a dedicated space for the littlest adventurers, there's something for everyone to enjoy, rain or shine!
Kids can let their imaginations run wild as they climb, slide, and explore in a safe and engaging environment. Whether they're scaling to the top of the colourful play structures or zooming down the slides with glee, there's no shortage of excitement to be found indoors.
Outdoor Adventure Zones!
Feel the thrill of bouncing to new heights on our jumping pillows or race against the wind with our exhilarating go-kart tracks. Unleash your inner archaeologist in our sand play area, Jurassic Canyon, where prehistoric adventures await!
But the excitement doesn't stop there! Test your agility and bravery on our assault course, traverse through lush greenery in our secret garden adventure golf, or hop aboard our spot-the-sheep tractor ride for a bumpy ride!
Lose yourself in the famous Maize Maze - one of the Farm's original headline attractions since 2004. A brilliant challenge for the whole family! Take on the UK's longest outdoor tubing slide at Mega Slide Mountain! Open from Easter through to the end of the Summer Holidays. Please note this is an additional charge (£1 per go or £5 for an unlimited wristband). Riders must be over 107cm. Play a round at the Secret Garden Adventure Golf - a 9-hole outdoor crazy golf course featuring water features, bridges and milk churns. Included in your ticket price!
With each adventure zone offering its own unique thrills and challenges, there's never a dull moment at our outdoor wonderland.
