Our Tipis and meadow are home to our very popular Parkgate Farm Toddlers.
We usually run morning and afternoon sessions 3 or 4 days a month including some weekends.
The 2 hour play session is suitable for babies from 6 months to toddlers aged 4/5 and includes a soft play set up, lots of toys, a bouncy castle, sandpit and outdoor toys. We regularly have face painting, balloon modelling, superhero mascots and other fun characters join the sessions too!
The meadow is completely safe and secure so your children can play while you enjoy a hot or cold drink and a cake from our bar area.
We still open even if it is raining as the Tipis are cosy, dry and heated in the colder weather.
There are toilet facilities with baby change and a large parking area.
We always give a portion of our profits from our bigger toddler events to local charities and foodbanks.

FUN FOR CHILDREN AGED 3-10! We have 2 sessions – the morning session is suitable for younger children aged 3-6 with a ‘friendly’ Grinch and afternoon is suitable for children up to aged 10 with the ‘real’ Grinch.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Our 2 giant tipis will be decorated ready for Grinchmas to get you into the Grinchmas spirit!
GRINCHMAS CHOCOLATE LOLLY MAKING – Using the finest Belgian chocolate, Oli the Choc will be guiding you to make your very own Grinchmas lollies! Get creative by piping the outline of your lolly first using milk chocolate and then filling in the centre. Finally add your Grinch sparkles and details, then your white chocolate detail to bring your lolly to life! Then quickly eat it before the cheeky Grinch comes!

The (toddler) Friendly Grinch is visiting in during the morning and the real Grinch will be here with mischief and madness in the afternoon!
