We’ve packed Birchill Farm full of family fun; start your days with Farmer Carolyn at animal feeding (a firm favourite with kids and parents alike), outdoor play areas, take walks in the woods or join us for our famous pizza nights. And if the weather isn’t kind? Take to our indoor play areas that are full of more toys than you could shake a soggy Devonshire stick at!
