Get ready for a sensational summer of fun at Cotswold Farm Park

Summary

Adam Henson’s Cotswold Farm Park (Guiting Power, Gloucestershire) is getting ready to open its gates for a super Summer of Fun for families to enjoy until 31st August. As well as a regular daily programme of activities, there will also be special one-off events, workshops and live entertainment throughout the summer months.

Details

As always at Cotswold Farm Park, visitors can meet a selection of rare and native breed farm animals and get involved with feeding the new lamb and goat kid arrivals in daily bottle-feeding sessions (11.30am and 3.30pm until 31st August).

Younger visitors can enjoy the well-equipped indoor and outdoor play areas, which includes a soft play section (perfect for little ones), large sand pits, bouncy pillows, swings, ride on tractors and quarry play, or enjoy a slower pace of play at the sensory garden.

To celebrate the start of Cotswold Farm Park’s Summer of Fun, visitors can meet the farm’s friendly resident donkeys and horses at the Donkey & Friends On The Farm Weekend (18th – 19th July, 9.30am – 5pm). Discover these charming creatures and find out more about what makes them so unique, and enjoy themed activities, including donkey rides.

Donkey & Friends Day tickets cost £21.50 for adults, £18.95 for seniors, £17.95 for children and £14.95 for toddlers and includes entry into Cotswold Farm Park and their Flower Fields.

Visitors can even take a posy of wildflowers home with them to enjoy. Each Wednesday from 18th July – 31st August, Cotswold Farm Park’s popular Sunflower Sessions return and include free access to the Flower Fields from 12pm, providing the perfect place to enjoy a sundowner, surrounded by flowers and the glorious Cotswold countryside.
