THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR WEARING A MASK AND ADHERING TO THE NEW GATHERING LAWS.

MASKS: You must wear a mask in the play barn unless sat at your table. If you won't then you'll be asked to leave to protect our staff and other visitors. Please indicate if you are medically exempt when entering.

RULE OF 6 / Tier 2: Please do not break the law by booking for more than 6 people or, if from Tier 2, in an attempt to meet another household. If you book for a larger group or make two consecutive bookings with the intention of gathering, you are still breaking the law. Please do not coordinate group bookings with friends or family. Please support us on this matter by not trying to circumvent our booking system.

Admission / opening Mon-Fri: 11.00am - 6.00pm, Sat: 9.00am-7.00pm; Sun 9.00am-6.00pm Prices: We are offering different ticket durations through the day to stagger entry. Please see the BOOK NOW calendar for prices. See offers page for mid-week deals. Adults: 50p online booking fee FARM PRE-BOOKED VISITORS ... if you have already booked your farm ticket as a JUST FARM ticket then you need to make a separate play barn booking to guarantee your place. There are unlikely to be farm-to-barn "combi" upgrades available on the day as the demand for play barn entry far exceeds supply due to the strict limits on numbers during the current pandemic. We expect to be especially busy at half term. Please do not assume you can upgrade to the Play Barn on the day during the half term holiday.

Groups Many groups visit us after a Farm Tour as there is a specially priced add-on. Please discuss this with the farm office (9-2.30 Monday to Friday on 0121 329 3240). The Big Play Barn have two specific offerings to groups. Here's a summary:  Parent and Toddler groups can book at a special price of £4.95 per child It is possible to add on food for your children and, in summer, a walk down to the Farm paddocks to meet some of the animals and take a tractor ride. Rainbows, Beavers, Cubs and Brownie groups can visit after-hours when we'll stay open after the general public have left. This costs £8.95 per child and includes a burger/hot dog, squash and biscuits. We run these evenings on specific weeks so please contact us for details or click the thumbnail for more info.
