Some venues are simply perfect for days out, and Washbrooks Family Farm is undoubtedly one of them.

Whatever you happen to be looking for when you have a day off, the chances are you will find it right here.

Perhaps your first port of call will be the outdoor play area. You’ll be able to settle back while the youngsters enjoy the zipwire, the trampolines and the jumping pillow. They’ll no doubt want to have some adventures on the pirate ship, too. Even the under-fives can enjoy themselves here as well. And the indoor play area is something of a must-visit, so be sure to head inside when you’re ready.

And as you might expect from such a popular farm, the animal barn and fields are a major attraction. You’ll find plenty to see here, including the likes of shire horses, Shetland ponies, donkeys, alpacas, rabbits, cows and more. The kids will love getting up close and personal with their new friends.

Washbrooks is also home to an excellent tearoom, which offers a great range of hot and cold refreshments for all of you. When you and your party are ready to stop awhile and unwind, this is where you want to be.
