We came to the farm yesterday for the big summer blow out. Our daughter had a great time but I couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. There’s only one proper food stand and the food options were expensive and dire - sausage roll, pasty, chips so I would recommend bringing your own picnic. They did have an ice cream stand but again £3.50 for the tiniest scoop, I originally queued up for this and when I saw the size of the scoop, walked away. Me and my partner felt it was a total rip off, £2.50 for a can of drink and it took around 20 minutes to queue for this! They had ride on tractors inside the big tent, but one was broken so left about 4 others so lots of kids racing around to get one. My daughter enjoyed the bouncy pillow, we fed some of the animals, although there actually isn’t that many and met Bluey. Did the woodland trail which she also enjoyed and she loved the playground area. I think my main gripe was that there are parts that are NOT pram friendly. Trying to push the pram over some of the gravelled areas was a nightmare as it’s very stony particularly where the animals are, the grassed areas not too bad. Overall, I’d say the day was average.
We visited Over Farm during the holidays for the “big summer blow out” & it was honestly one of the best days out we’ve had with the kids, especially for the price. Rover the farmer was brilliant with all the children and really made an effort to make everyone feel involved, he really did make the day special! We all had such a good time that we’ve already booked to go back, can’t wait to do it all again. 👨🏼🌾🐷🍦
Excellent value for money. So much for the kids to do in the great outdoors. The foam party was an absolute hit and probably one of the highlights of the visit for my daughter (and the science show) Would definitely recommend it.
