Staffordshire farm set to ‘unlock summer’ for family fun

Taking place daily from Thursday, August 20 to Tuesday, September 2, the attraction's Summer Unlocked event will host a number of outdoor and open-barn play activities, with the chance to meet the farm's animals and learn about what’s happening behind the scenes during the summer months.

Following the recent Government announcement that soft place centres can reopen, visitors will also have the chance to experience the farm’s huge new indoor play barn.

Farmer Richard Bower, who runs the farm - and the new attraction - alongside father Ray and his partner Val, says: “At the beginning of the year, we were aiming to launch our full new farm attraction to the public at the start of the school summer holidays – however, the Covid-19 crisis and lockdown meant that plans had to be put on hold.

"We have, however, been busy behind the scenes putting the finishing touches to the attraction and making the site Covid-secure.

"We learnt a lot from our preview day, have made some tweaks and we’re now ready to open, in-line with Government guidelines, and welcome visitors back to the farm.

“We’ve really missed the vibrancy and energy visiting families bring to the farm and can’t wait to welcome them back to have lots of fun while learning about farming and its role in food and energy production.”

In addition to the new indoor play barn, families will also be able to enjoy new additions to the outdoor play area including sand play, the ‘Farm-ula One’ go-kart track, mini ride-on tractors, and a maize trail,.
