If you are trying to save a bit of money but still want to take your children out to do some activities over half term, you might want to check out this farm just outside of Peterborough. Sacrewell Farm is letting kids enter for free with every paying adult during half term and has a range of indoor and outdoor activities.
If you are lucky with the weather, you can spend plenty of time enjoying the outdoors and taking a walk on one of the routes around the farm’s countryside. You can take a walk through the farm and the surrounding area. You can walk for either one mile or three miles depending on how active you feel.
Children might love to say hello to all the farm animals that call Sacrewell home, including rare, heritage, and recovering-breed animals. You can see sheep, goats, pigs, and more unusual animals like alpacas.
After seeing the animals, you can let children run free around the outdoor play park, which features swings, slides, and climbing equipment. There is also a sensory garden where you can take a moment to enjoy some peace and quiet.
If it does start raining during your trip, Sacrewell Farm has an indoor soft play area with colourful ball pits and climbing frames ideal for “energetic imaginations”. The soft play area also has lots of themed zones, including a chicken coop where children can run around and collect eggs.
The farm also has its own café that you can visit after a long walk around the countryside or after spending hours in the playground. The café is open for full English breakfasts and muffins as well as toasties, jacket potatoes, and a few larger meals at lunchtime.
The farm also has its own gift shop where you can pick something up to remember your trip by. The shop is packed with toys, games, and books to keep the fun going at home.
Entry to the farm over the half-term will be free for children. Day tickets for adults cost £13.55 and can be bought from the Sacrewell Farm website.
Sacrewell Farm is in Thornhaugh, Peterborough – just a 16-minute drive from the city. The farm has plenty of free parking for visitors to use.
