PARTIES AT THE PLAYBARN
The Playbarn is the perfect venue to hold the unforgettable party. All types of family and group parties can be held at the Playbarn, from traditional Birthday Parties, Christenings, Family Gatherings, Baby Namings, Corporate Events, Club Events or just a Friends Get-Together. Hire the whole of the Playbarn privately or share the Playbarn and base your party in one of the Party Rooms. You can even choose how long the party lasts.
Our most popular parties are Private Hire, when you can have the Playbarn exclusively for your group. These parties can be held from 4.30pm (5pm school holidays) weekdays and all day on a Saturday. Your party will have the use of the 'Haybarn' Play area and soft play, the Tractor Courtyard, Outdoor climbing den and Duck Pond. Please note these parties have exclusive use of the Playbarn. Please note that the Childrens farm and Beach Barn are optional extras (when available). For Private Hire parties a minimum of 15 children are required.
During normal opening hours share the Playbarn and base your party in the upstairs Gallery which makes the ideal base for parties
Gallery hire parties can be Self Catering, when you will pay the hourly charge plus a set charge for the adults and children attending, or Catered, let us take control with our traditional party food served in the party room by our host who will help the party run smoothly. There is no minimum number for our Gallery hire parties.
If you have a small group then a Picnic Party would be the perfect choice. The birthday food is supplied in individual hampers. The party can be set up in our conservatory area or moved outside to enjoy the sunshine. Picnic Parties are available during our normal opening hours and for a maximum of 15 children.
Our parties last two hours but can be extended if required, please ask for prices.

GROUPS AT THE PLAYBARN Group Leaflet 2018
The Playbarn is an ideal venue for any group visit. From Easter to October you can play on all the equipment and also visit the childrens farm and maze area. For Winter visits make the most of our indoor facilities in our quietier period.
Pony rides and tractor / trailer rides can be pre-booked at a discounted rate of £1.75 per child per activity for Easter to September visits. Pony Rides are suitable for children 2 -7 years whereas a tractor ride is suitable for all ages. All activities require adult supervision 1:1 for Pony rides and 1:4 for tractor rides. Minimum of 15 children for a group, £7 per child. Supervising adults free of charge, extra adults £1. Activities are weather permitting.
An undercover area can be reserved for groups to sit and have lunch together. Picnics may be brought in or if you prefer we can arrange meal boxes for the children for £4 per child. Snacks and light lunches are available from 11.30am - 2pm daily and hot and cold drinks are served throughout the day. If preferred we have three outdoor areas available for picnics:
- The Puzzle Paddock: An ideal secure area to allow the children to run around and let off steam, explore the maze, ride tractors and play the many puzzles and games.
- Wooded Picnic Area: Providing shelter on hot days, the children can play on the barking diggers or negotiate the activity walk.
- The Patio Picnic Area: Overlooking the farm but a safe place for a picnic.
Risk assessments are available and pre-booking visits are strongly recommended, please phone to arrange an appointment if required. A £30 deposit is required to secure a booking and actual numbers advised the day before a visit.
All children must be accompanied when visiting the children's farm. We run a very strict handwashing code. All children and adults must stamp their hands with the playbarn 'bug' before visiting the farm and wash it away when leaving.
