Next Special Event - A Festive Day Out with Thomas - Weekends 30 Nov - 22 Dec

Brilliant day. Grandchildren aged 2&4 enjoyed every minute. Decided to do something different this year. As normally go to millets Farm. Glad we did. The volunteers are great. Rusty had the men singing and playing along with her she was fantastic. But they all worked so hard to make the day great for all the family. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Also we will be visiting in the summer. Thank you for a great time
