Discovery Land At Priory Farm

Went here as a surprise for our boys and it didn't disappoint. The tractor ride was good fun, passing some bats on the way. The boys thought the bumpy bits were hilarious. Pumpkin picking was great fun, there were loads to choose from of all sizes and there were lots of tiny ones in big baskets by the pay area. There were some little areas to take photos (hay bales, a pumpkin house) and a small kids hay bale maze with a slide. The boys loved toasting a marshmallow each while we waited for the tractor back. Remember to take a bag or something to carry your pumpkins back in! Also worth noting, there are 2 different car parks, one of them is a lot closer to the picking area. We then did the spooky trail; the boys have been here before and remembered it was the fairy woods, but it had been taken over by mud monsters, so it was a different experience from last time. We collected words to complete the magic spell which saved the area from the mud monsters. There are so many different areas along the trail, tree houses, little huts, spooky tunnels, a giant spider, music making areas, a tyre obstacle course and more. So very much to keep the kids entertained, we didn't even manage to do it all. Could easily have spent another few hours if we had the energy 🤣 After the trail there's also another play area and there were also several places to get food. I have to say, it all looked really yummy and the mulled cider was AMAZING! We were there from about 12:30 til just after 5pm, we all had a great day and will be back for the next event.

We had an amazing time here last weekend. It was busy, and some of the queues for food and coffee were quite long (we luckily took a picnic which I would recommend but a friend didn't and queued for quite a while). The rest was managed really well. The children loved the tractor ride and I think you really get value for money with the trail. It was longer than I thought with lots to see and do. Will definitely return.

This farm is a great place to spend your time with family. Very easy to get there without a car, though you might wanna use a cab to get there from the train station. Kids are over the moon from the amount of stuff you can do, so highly recommend! Just make sure to take warm clothes with you and don't eat in the cafe that's located outside of the farm. Open fire food is sooo much better, trust me!

Fun day out for children with lots to see and do around this well laid out farm. There is plenty of parking available here. It is right next to the Priory Farm Garden Centre which is handy for refreshments before or after your visit (especially recommend the coffee cake!). Toilets seemed a little sparse, but otherwise we had no complaints. It took us a little over two hours to explore, but you could easily spend longer. Entrance wasn't cheap (£7 per person if not booked in advance on peak days). Children over 2 needed a ticket too.
