Our ticket prices can change with demand, so booking online is always the best value.
From £8.99 per adult when booked before 4th of July.
The biggest savings come when you book 14+ days before your visit during our Earlybird period; these lowest-price tickets often sell out quickly, so it’s worth locking them in early.

Book more than two weeks in advance for our farm park and you’ll unlock our Earlybird prices – the lowest we go!
Missed the Earlybird window? You’ll still save when you book online before 10pm the day before your visit.
Just turning up? You’re always welcome; just know that gate prices are higher and kick in from 10pm the day before.
Such a beautiful little farm to visit with plenty of lovely family games to play! Staff were super friendly and the area was immaculate. Can’t wait to visit again in the summer!
I brought tickets online to this place at the bringing of the summer holidays! Went yesterday 28/08 with my partner and children. Turn up originally from the first glance I thought 'oh there's not much to do' however when we got in and started looking around there was definitely plenty to do! The space is unreal as well! I normally get overwhelmed taking my children out but this place, honestly no overwhelming feelings at all! The place is completely fenced all the way round, so no escaping from my 4 year old. Around every corner there was something to do :) Even myself and my partner enjoyed it :) will definitely be going back :)
Brilliant day with 2 granddaughters (10 & 8). Didn't do all the areas/activities but loved the fact that entrance price covers all activities. Wasn't crowded even in the middle of the summer holidays. One piece of advice is if children take part in the Foam Cannon Party make sure you take a change of clothes and towels! Will certainly go again.
Every day throughout the summer holidays, you’ll enjoy a different farmyard theme at Countryside Adventure’s Big Summer Blowout. Use the booking calendar key to select the live shows or special visits that you want to be here for, and enjoy the magic!
