We had a fantastic day.Certainly the best day out of our half term.The staff really care and couldn’t have been more helpful.
The Children loved it,plenty to do and see.
Great value for money.
We went on a rainy day but even so it was great.
We will be going again and would definitely recommend.
Not usually something I'd go to but I thoroughly enjoyed it after the decision to go whilst on a break on the south coast.
Even with the restrictions in place there was plenty to see, do and learn.....which I definitely did!
The trenches exhibit and the educational talks were excellent.
There were around half a dozen staff working and they were brilliant, smiling, chatting and seemed to be working none stop!
Absolutely well worth a visit and help support the team here.
As a non horse lover, I went to this park to keep the peace. Within minutes, I was being chased by my wife to keep up. This is not a venue where you just turn up. No! This venue has something happening all of the time for young and old. How to it the reins on a (live) Shire Horse to the history of the gypsy. The history of the vehicles gypsy used, right up to a modern Showman's trailer (which COVID meant had to be closed) was cleverly and funnily explained. The staff even got seats out for those wanting the lecture. No standing around here!
The venue is not large, so you don't have miles to walk. Compact and well designed.
Food was home cooked fresh for you. Fairly priced, and very good size plates.
In the end though, would we go back? Yes. And take daughter, son in law and grandson as the excuse (if I needed one) to return.
Gave our granddaughter and family a voucher for Christmas, and decided we would go along as well.So glad we did. All six of us had a wonderful day out, and my 5 year old great granddaughter loved it. So much for children to do to keep them happy! We all loved the beautiful horses, and cart rides at no extra cost. Very interesting old vehicles and Romany caravans on display, and much more. We loved Smokey Joe's cafe which was American themed. There were some restrictions because of government ruling, but did'nt spoil the day.A well run family business and I wish them all the best for next season. Will visit again next summer!
Absolutely lovely place. Real family feel to it and they clearly love the horses. My daughter and I loved it. Educational hands on fun. The owner is an eccentric but he’s great. Can’t wait for our next trip there.
