You could even go on the decking area where you can get coffee and cake, and keep an eye on them whilst playing.

If you are bringing a group of children on their school trip, don’t forget to take them here. It is suitable for ages between 3 and 10 years old. They can join in the activities such as wonky walk and adventure towers, sensory experience as well as climbing walls. This play area has been designed in the hope that it will get young children interested in outdoor activities by encouraging it into play.

The activity has been created with Primary Schools in mind, and is called the Ready, Steady Dig. Here the children can learn about the environment, as well as learning the basics of gardening. It consists of 2 hours packed with fun, hands-on learning activities.
