Live shows at Countryside Adventure’s Spring Spectacular

Spring is springing and our farm park is buzzing with excitement as Mooriel the cow, BWARK the chicken and Baarty the sheep take centre stage from 12th – 21st April. They’ll get your little ones singing, dancing and cracking up as there’s something for everyone to enjoy (…let’s see those hips, grown-ups).

Here’s what’s coming up in the Roundhouse during the Easter holidays this year:

The Springing Singing Show!

(12th – 21st April only)

Mooriel the cow and BWARK the chicken are BFFFs (Bestest Farm Friends Forever), ready to bring you a springtime farmyard fiesta full of music, dancing, and fun!

Spring has sprung, and Mooriel’s helping Farmer Rees with spring cleaning. Well…sort of! Muddy hooves and no opposable thumbs cause a bit of chaos, and Mooriel ends up feeling down. But BWARK’s got a plan: the very first Cock-a-Doodle-Dooo Party!

With crazy dance moves for you to join in with, original songs like “The Strut and Cluck,” and plenty of silliness, Mooriel and BWARK prove that every farm flop can turn into the party of the year. Don’t miss the springtime fun.

Bwark’s Eggtravaganza!

(12th – 21st April only)

BWARK the chicken is back, running the show as always, but Mooriel the cow is in a serious mooood! Poor old Mooriel doesn’t lay eggs (as BWARK keeps reminding her)… So ‘why does that Easter Bunny get all the fun?’, she wonders. (We’ve wondered the same thing, Mooriel, if we remember correctly, rabbits don’t lay eggs either!)

But after much moooody mooo-ing, BWARK lets Mooriel join in on the egg-citing silliness. So get ready for a hilarious mix of egg-themed games, as well as Mooriel’s own twist, with a milking challenge. Pink rubber gloves, buckets, and brave grown-ups included!

With disco tunes, dancing, and chocolate eggs for every child, it’s an “eggcellent” time!

Have a Party with Baarty, The Barnyard Baard!

(12th – 21st April only)

Any time of the day you might bump into Baarty the sheep around our farm park. He loves to sing, dance, and baaa-ring the fun!

Armed with his portable speaker and microphone, Baarty’s always ready for a bit of Baa-raoke, where all the boys and girls can join in. You too, grown-ups, grab a mic! Get ready for more laughs, music, and unstoppable baa-rilliant entertainment!

Live show: Monkey Magic!

Marky Jay and his monkey assistant, Professor Steve Chimpington are on a mission to amaze you all. Prepare to marvel over their hilarious magic tricks and juggling which…errr…never quite seem to go completely to plan!

Shows will be running twice daily from the 22nd to the 27th of April.

Live show: Crabracadabra!

Meet Loz Because, a circus-loving mistress of sea creatures who’s here to take your child on an adventure on the sea. There’ll be balloons, pirates, bubbles, juggling and we’ll get those hips wiggling with some amazing hula-hooping skills too. All with the help of Loz’s cheeky, magical sidekick, Colin the Crab!

Shows will be running twice daily from 22nd to 27th.

What our customers say

Great value family day out. For £10 per person there is so much to do! Kids 2.5 and 4.5 loved the tractor ride, quad ride, woodlands walk, feeding the animals, the play equipment and spent almost an hour on the bouncy pillows. We didn’t have time to have a go on the crazy golf or foot golf, and we were there 10am until 3.30pm. Good looked good but we took our own picnic so didn’t try it. As it was a very hot day we would have benefited from some shady areas- maybe a few large sail type things. Overall the farm park was excellent value and we would definitely come again!

A wonderful 4 hours spent at the farm park and we didn't manage to do everything so have an excuse to go back. The kids especially enjoyed the play park and quad train. A toilet block rather than thunder boxes would be a great addition

Visited on a Saturday during the summer holidays with my daughter, granddaughter (4) and baby grandson. It was not too busy and we had a lovely day. The Farm Park is great value for money and all the staff were really helpful and friendly. Once inside everything is included in the price and my granddaughter enjoyed all the areas. The 1.00pm foam party was a big hit and the quad train was great fun. We took a picnic so didn't try the onsite food, and there were plenty of picnic tables dotted around to use. All the animals looked well looked after and we enjoyed feeding them. We had lovely weather but there is an undercover activity/eating area if it is needed. This is a great family day out and next time, we will allow more time as we didn't get to do the maze or woodland walk area on this visit.
