Great day out. The Safari can take a little time to get around with stopping at gates but it's understandable why. They've no longer got the Bat Cave which I was a major disappointment for myself as a lover of bats. The staff on the boat, Lady Bath, were very friendly and entertaining.

Had a great day. The jungle cruise was great, loved the koalas and birds. Enjoyed the inflatables too. The safari was brilliant. We had a good show from the lion enclosure 😸

My partner and I visit at least once a year and this year was our first time seeing the balloon festival in the summer which was absolutely surreal! Loved it. We also did the ant eater experience which was just amazing. There is also an opportunity to feed birds within the park (no booking needed) which is really cute and I became particularly attached to one with a broken beak. We did the festival of lights last year which was a really nice winter attraction that we'd love to do again this year!

Exceeded my expectations!! Excellent family say out. Loved interactive element eg boat trip to feed sea lions & feeding parakeets. We went for festival of lights which was impressive!! We will have to go again as so much to see & do. Great places to eat & grab snacks/lunch etc too. Highly recommend.

The place is humongous and has really good arrangements for watching wildlife closely. They have tried giving a very good and open habitat to most of the animals. Some of the animals looks very well trained as to how to behave with humans. Longleat hose and amazement pack is also a very huge place to visit. Loved each and every part of the trip. Don't miss the boat and train ride it's a very good experience. Carry your own food if you don't prefer to eat team the cafe before your safari. The washrooms are well maintained. Start as early as possible as the queue is very long to enter the safari park. Try the maze it's super fun 😊

Longleat, what can I say. This is a beautiful place and a fantastic day out for the family, there's lots today and may not do it all in one trip. I would recommend getting there when the park opens as you can walk the grounds and do the zoo plus rides ect.. then go to your time slot for the Safari. Plenty of places to eat with lots of picnic benches. Lots of fun to have here and if you are thinking about going do it, you won't regret it.

Not many animals as expected. Still safari good. Peaceful place to drive through. Kids enjoyed. Maze is really good. We got lost in it for sometime 😃. There is a castle play area which is good. Splash pool is available. We went on hot air balloon event which is awesome. Some fireworks in the air. And music band is really good. My kid danced well for that music. A good place.

Absolutely fabulous time. We started with the safari drive as our 4 year old insisted! Wasn't too busy although was on a school day. We stopped at the African Village to see the animals there. There was a big queue to feed the giraffes so we didn't stay for that and drove round. Monkeys are particularly playful and mischievous so if you are precious about your car then do not enter. We saw every animal on the drive and really recommend the app as we checked off all the animals but also got to hear lots of information. We paid an extra £1.50 for deer food and we enjoyed feeding them from the car. Plenty of parking and not too far to walk even for those with little legs. We walked around Jungle Kingdom and then onto the Jungle Cruise. Very lucky to see so many gorillas out - we also paid £1.50 to feed the sea lions some fish. Again, I don't think we missed any animals on the walks round either. We managed to get another drive round done at the end. We avoided the monkeys this time and whole drive took just 50 mins that time. A fantastic day out. Highly recommend it! We've had to watch Animal Park again since being home!

The whole experience was amazing. We had a lovely time. Everything was well presented and very clean. We didn't manage to get around everything, so we will definitely return.

Great place to take the family! The kids loved feeding the giraffes & walking through the bird enclosure. Driving through the safari was great but be aware the monkeys will steal bits off your car if they can 🤣 you can skip the monkeys but they are great fun! All in all longleat is a great day out

Visited the last week of the summer school holidays and it was busier than our previous few visits. We are annual members and try to get there 4 or 5 times a year. We plan our visit to take in as much as possible and ensure we get to see different areas each time. With the kids, it is important to do this due to queues in the safari/food/toilets! We were treated to seeing far more of the animals this visit than previously (see a small selection of photos). Our only suggestion is to increase the variety of food. There was a street food hut near the main picnic area that served vegetarian food. The service was fast and the food quality was good. Without the little cabins the pizza offering was very busy. A 20 minute wait is too long for young children and can eat into your day out. Bring snacks, drinks and sweets to keep you going while walking around/queuing. Definitely worth visiting for the entire day.

One of the best safari parks in the UK, spent a couple of days here. Plenty to do and see with most things included in the entrance price. The house tour costs extra but well worth doing as the guides are knowledgeable and entertaining and the groups are small.

A great place for young kids and animal lovers. Would recommend morning slots as the animals are much active then. Also try visiting the park during the feeding time for the big cats which we were told is on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The place is huge so it's better to reach early to cover all the things rather than rushing. It has everything to keep your whole day occupied and more. Overall it's a money well spent.

What an amazing day! It was not busy and we got to see everything the park had to offer. The animals were active, and so entertaining. Lovely clean environment that they are staying in, plenty of space. The monkeys had babies hanging off them all over the place which didn't stop them climbing all over the vehicles - I even forgave them for stealing my windscreen washer off my car!

A day that never disappoints, normally we visit for the Christmas lights, but this year we thought we would add an extra “warm” visit and we were not disappointed. Great for the whole family however I went with our parents in law, chose to use our car, thus no monkeys! I would recommend using someone else’s vehicle or the garage courtesy car to enjoy this part of the trail!

The best day out for all ages. I cannot express how amazing it is to visit Longleat Safari. I used to go often when I was little and this year decided I wanted to go back. Wow, it really didn’t disappoint. The animals are just incredible and so well looked after. I was really lucky and was able to feed the giraffes, it was an experience I will never forget. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and all the staff are so helpful and friendly! This is a perfect day out for kids or couples, even in large groups. 10/10 recommend this trip to anyone.

Brilliant atmosphere today. Staff very committed and welcoming in safari. Finally after many years I was able to see air balloons festival. Amazing display and night glow steel the show. 🎈 display were awesome.

But less at the actual zoo part of things than expected but still not a reason not to go. The Safari drive through was brilliant, we went through the monkey enclosure(which you can bypass if worried about vehicle damage) and we came out only losing a blind spot mirror and three aerial sheath lol. Easy recommendation to visit lived it all but thinking summer is probably a better time to go

Apart from the overpriced cost of an entry ticket, we did have an amazing day! The safari drive was so good. We loved the monkeys jumping on our car. They behaved too and didn't pull anything off. The lions were very impressive, and the Rhinos too. You can drive around the safari area as many times as you like so you can get to see your favourites lots! The food queues were insane. We were so thankful we took a packed lunch, and we only had to queue for an ice cream. We went when the "sky safari" was on so the park closed at 8.30pm, we stayed till 8pm. It was fantastic! Top tip.... Don't forget to fill up your car with petrol/diesel. We got caught short, but we were able to leave the park to fill up and return, showing our receipt.

Fun day out at Longleat. Little proxy but the light show was very good, and got to see a few animals also. Some bits around park looking a bit tired. Went for a tour of the house which was interesting, and the guide was very good.

Have watched the program over the last couple years and have been wanting to go since I stumbled across it. Had the BEST day! Through the safari park I was so excited and giddy like a little kid. Seeing all the animals across the park was such an enjoyment and I loved every minute. Going round the house was incredible and the tour guide was fantastic getting everyone involved making it fun. The tour guide had such a passion and respect for the history of the house and park. If I lived closer I would definitely go all the time. The ticket prices seemed quite steep but actually I personally think the safari is worth that alone. A big well done to the staff as well, especially the women behind the till in one of the gift shops who had to listen to a customer complaining saying it didn't live up to what they've seen on TV....I quite frankly disagree. I liked how I knew the animals names through the show so when I visited it felt more personal. I loved the opportunities of feeding the animals e.g. Sea lions and deer. If you visit the boat tour is a must as you get to see the gorillas and feed the sea lions. Everyone who went took part in the maze, even though it was a bit damp and muddy, we all had such a good time and raced to the middle (we're all adults by the way). The only thing I can think of to improve would be more immersive sounds instead of only reading information on the animals. 100% worth the money and I can't wait to visit again in the future.

Fantastic family day out, we all thoroughly enjoyed this. The animals were fairly easy to see. They seemed to be kept well and looked healthy. Park was kept clean and tidy. Wasn't too busy when we went, so no big ques. Shops have a variety of gifts. Food was a reasonable price, and there was a variety of places to eat. Tickets to enter are on the higher side, but I would say it's definitely worth it. Will be coming back again in the future.

Our guide Nicky, gave us the most incredible VIP otter experience! She was so knowledgeable and open to questions. She really did make our day and i could not recommend her enough! We had pizza and donuts whilst there which were incredibly delicious and the hands on experience throughout the park was exceptional..

Awesome experience, the safari is the real deal. I've always dreamt of an experience as this and they made it a reality. The boat ride was wonderful, just wished it was longer as well as the train ride need to be longer and have things to see or do whilst on it. Can you imagine driving pass lionsin the open? It's intriguing. Staff was wonderful, courteous, kind, respectful and pleasant. Hats off to management for choosing these workers. Great job to the owner for this experience.

At the beginning of the year we’ve decided to visit longleat for the first time. They had their lights event on for Christmas and we were amazed. It’s a very memorable experience and we will definitely be back for the next one at the end of the year. My daughter is a part time wheelchair user due to her conditions and was glad that there were plenty of disabled parking bays as the extra space helps getting the wheelchair in and out. They also offer free carers ticket, since I am my daughters carer too I got in for free. The zoo was very wheelchair and buggy friendly. We will definitely visit again but next time we will bring our battery packs with us to charge our phones as both my partners and my phone died taking so many pictures we didn’t get pictures of everything.

We went for the annual Christmas New Year Light show (4th time) which was well up to standard. Despite the onset of torrential rain in the afternoon we did the safari drive earlier in the day and had some great up close and personal encounters as the animals were generally less sleepy than when the weather is sunny...or so it seemed 😉

Such an amazing place the house was full of character and showed a real insight into the families life and interests. After the house you visit the gardens and the lake.....wow. I wish I'd taken a book to read down by the water. It is truly beautiful , I will definitely be coming back. Stunning.

Simply stunning landscape. Interesting rooms and displays in the house. Substantial parking, visitor centre, cafe etc A must if you're in the area and the weather is favourable

Amazing National Trust with plenty to do. The grounds are well kept and the summer of play area was great for the kids. A bonus for us was having medieval recreations which the whole family enjoyed.

This is a beautiful National Trust area that includes a house, gardens, and lake. It's not a cheap place to visit (you also have to pay separately to park!), but you can get a whole day out here! There is a cafe and facilities as you enter, but also a kiosk selling drinks near the stables. In the house the kids can have a sheet of things to spot / look for in each room which certainly kept our youngest busy - the room guides were also more than happy to try and answer some of our random questions. A nice day out!

Lovely peaceful spot for a walk to spend an hour round the lake. Visited here 5 years ago, and wanted to come back again on my way up from Cornwall to visit a friend in Hampshire. Early November is a great time to go with the changing of the season inyo Autumn 🍁🍁 Great photo opportunities too.

It is a beautiful and very large place. You need a full day to explore. Very big lake, surrounded by various historical features. House is also very big and beautiful with immense history. Suitable for all age groups as having a facility of shuttle bus and golf cart to roam around. A day well spent. It is not linked directly with public transport, hence approx 40 minutes walk from Gillingham(Dorset) Station or book a taxi. Taxi rank is not available in Gillingham(Dorset) Station.

Stourhead is a beautiful place to visit at any time of the year. Unfortunately at the moment although it says the house is open it really isn't. There is the entrance hall and another room but you can go no further. If you are disabled the main toilets at the entrance are closed. There are portable toilets but they are up steps. If you are in a wheelchair there is nowhere accessible for the toilet or at the house. I use a stick to walk so did manage a short walk near the lake. You can get help to go to the house or by the lake in a mini bus. A very nice man took me back to the car park. The restaurant is also very slow, enough staff and they are young just not moving very quickly. I'd hate to be there on a busy day. Also no offer of help for disabled people with taking trays to a table. Hopefully when I visit again later in the years, things will be a bit better run and organised.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Stourhead today. It is a truly beautiful National Trust property with extensive grounds that amaze at every turn.. it has some beautiful features in the gardens and lots of fun caves and tunnels and bridges for all ages to enjoy. The house is stunning.. beautifully preserved with lots of history and great story telling from the kind and informative volunteers who clearly love the place. Entry and parking is free for National Trust members and there is an extensive carpark with step free access.. it’s a large site but mostly flat albeit with one or two slopes or optional stepped areas to negotiate. There is a lovely cafe and pub on site and outside seating areas for picnics and a lovely Gallery and second hand bookshop doing great business. It was busy but didn’t feel crowded apart from small queues at the two popular ice cream outlets! There are activities to complete for the kids and plenty of benches for less able. You can easily while away a good few hours there so set aside a day and bring the whole family. A truly lovely NT property.

Something for everyone. An attractive house with interesting rooms and objects to look at and knowledgeable volunteers, a delightful walk around a folly-studded lake perimeter with spectacular views, a chocolate-box church and village with gallery and secondhand bookshop , and a restaurant for reviving refreshments. What's not to love?!

Absolutely stunning place! The view when you first walk into the garden is breathtaking, and like looking at a magnificent painting. Very peaceful atmosphere with lots of nature to be found. Lots of walking is involved in order to get the most out of your visit.

Really great place, but very busy - which is understandable. We brought our own lunch, which was good as it avoided the cafe queues. Plenty of things to see and lovely walks. Lots of areas to relax and connect with nature.

Absolutely stunning manor house and gardens. £19 for 1 adult is pretty expensive, and there is no concession price but you can spend all day there exploring the grounds. Staff in the house were all incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. If we had been smarter we would have brought a picnic and stayed for longer, as food there is very expensive too. All in all, a beautiful day out 🌞

Beautiful place. A really enjoyable walk with my family. Pub at the end and a cafe for refreshments. Cafe at the beginning also. Just a stunning place.

We have visited Stourhead on several occasions and did so again on 14032024. Having arrived before the house was open, we took the opportunity to walk through the landscaped gardens leading to the lake. The gardens are so well cared for, and were beginning to flower, which made the walk in the drizzle very bearable. Having got to the Lakeside, we walked around the perimeter for the first time, enjoying not only the natural environment but also visiting the grotto and the pantheon. From the lake, we did a quick tour of the house - which was limited to the ground floor. The library, with its 6000+ books, was a particularly highlight. Before leaving, we had lunch at the Spread Eagle Inn. The staff were friendly and very helpful and the food was excellent. This site also boasts a restaurant, gift shop, gallery, and second-hand book shop, all of which are worth popping into. Another enjoyable visit and we'll no doubt return in future. (We are National Trust members and admission was free of charge on presentation of our membership cards.)

We have been to Stourhead venue before, we have always liked visiting the lovely estate with it's well maintained gardens, lake, house and grotto. At Christmas we decided to go to their Christmas lights, it was amazing 😃 we would definitely recommend going, it was well worth it, even though it was raining we enjoyed every minute. We will definitely be going again.

We had a fantastic stroll through the gardens late autumn. The colours were wonderful. Staff were setting up for Christmas, so lots of activity and prep going on which added to the atmosphere of anticipation for the festive season. We had coffee and cake and soaked up the beauty of the historic buildings. We even bought a few Christmas presents. A wonderful day.

Absolutely beautiful National Trust grounds. House was only to be seen on the ground floor and so dimly lit, you couldn't see much of the wonderful paintings in there. However, worth going just for the extensive garden. Breathtakingly beautiful.

Beautiful National Trust property with impressive grounds and history to match. Highly recommend the property tour to truly understand the design details of the grounds and each building. There are so many 'wow' moments with hidden surprises that reveal themselves in the most unexpected places. The restaurant serves up a wide ranging menu and staff were lovely, areas were kept very clean. Great place for a dog walk too.

An amazing place to visit, the gardens are just simply beautiful. Great walks around the big lake, lots of things to explore. Gardens are dog friendly.

Beautiful place to visit, the gardens are vast and very historical. House had alot of history. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Would go again. Be warned gardens are huge, lots of walking but well worth it. The lake is very picturesque, there is a pub at the one end, well worth a cheeky pint/ coke. Would visit again.

House was closed for a couple of weeks (Nov 23) so we just walked around the lake and looked at the other small buildings on the estate. Autumnal colours were a little muted this year but still provided plenty of colour and glorious views over the lake. Well worth a visit but suggest going when the house is open as tickets aren’t cheap. Also you have to pay for parking on top if you’re not a member

It was the stories the guides told which made the visit so good. Stourhead is celebrating 300 years and has several rooms dedicated to the women who have lived there. The good times and the bad. Talk to the guides they have some great stories to tell. That's just the house. The gardens are fantastic, even on a very wet March Friday there was fabulous rhododendron and magnolia flowers. A 4km walk takes you around all the follies, lakes and beautiful flora. Good tea rooms and of course a well stocked NT shop.

Stourhead is a gem in the National Trust Crown. On this my first visit to Stourhead was for a walk around the grounds and lake at Stourhead. Although a mixed bag of weather sun, drizzle, heavy rain and thunder , hail and finish with glorious late afternoon/ evening sunshine , the walk highlighted the beauty and views of this old estate. The walk around the lake taking in the Grotto , the Gothic cottage , The Pantheon and Palladian Bridge is an absolute must as is the Temple of Apollo. Being National Trust unless a NT member it is £20 to enter the estate for the day but it is worth the money.

Although a very busy day - Easter Sunday - it wasn't an issue as the grounds are so vast. No problems stopping for coffee and lunch breaks as plenty of choices, and we got seated easily. It was a lovely day out.

Beautiful at this time of the year. We took a slow walk around the lakes (1.5hrs) stopping to admire the scenery and take photos, then had lunch in the cafe where there was a good selection of hot & cold food and drinks. Accessible car parking on one level. It's always worth a visit to the shop too, but the historic house was closed as they were preparing for Christmas.

If you enjoy parkland, views and lakes then you'll love Stourhead. It's a wonderful National Trust property that's beautiful in all seasons but especially so in the Autumn. There are a number of different paths that you can follow in the valley and I suspect that one can never become bored by the vistas. Still the main path, which is relatively flat and easy, is magnificent. In terms of logistics there's a good size car park at the top of the hill, where you have a visitor centre. A short walk takes you to the local pub, gift shops and a kiosk for food and drink. If Stourhead doesn't convince you to become a National Trust member then nowhere will!

We went to Stourhead near Mere. Such a beautiful place with stunning views and woodland walks. The lake area was so tranquil and at this time of year nature's tapestry of colours really showed up the magnificent trees. The house sits on top and has views across parkland one way and down towards the lake the other way.With kitchen gardens and various outbuildings to explore. The National Trust manages this incredible site and everywhere is so beautifully kept. We will have to go back to explore even more there and go in the house. Even then we will have to go back to see every season!! Wear good shoes for walking. Dogs are welcome to the outside areas but not actually in the house. There is a restaurant, café, shop and toilets by the car park. There are further toilets and by the pub where there is hot drinks and ice cream available in the court yard. A gallery and second hand book shop all in the courtyard. A playground for those youngsters who may not have used up all their energy exploring the grounds!!! Also a farm shop in the car park. Stunning area of outstanding beauty 😁. Take your camera 😉.

Great day out. The Safari can take a little time to get around with stopping at gates but it's understandable why. They've no longer got the Bat Cave which I was a major disappointment for myself as a lover of bats. The staff on the boat, Lady Bath, were very friendly and entertaining.

Had a great day. The jungle cruise was great, loved the koalas and birds. Enjoyed the inflatables too. The safari was brilliant. We had a good show from the lion enclosure 😸

Awesome experience, the safari is the real deal. I've always dreamt of an experience as this and they made it a reality. The boat ride was wonderful, just wished it was longer as well as the train ride need to be longer and have things to see or do whilst on it. Can you imagine driving pass lionsin the open? It's intriguing. Staff was wonderful, courteous, kind, respectful and pleasant. Hats off to management for choosing these workers. Great job to the owner for this experience.

At the beginning of the year we’ve decided to visit longleat for the first time. They had their lights event on for Christmas and we were amazed. It’s a very memorable experience and we will definitely be back for the next one at the end of the year. My daughter is a part time wheelchair user due to her conditions and was glad that there were plenty of disabled parking bays as the extra space helps getting the wheelchair in and out. They also offer free carers ticket, since I am my daughters carer too I got in for free. The zoo was very wheelchair and buggy friendly. We will definitely visit again but next time we will bring our battery packs with us to charge our phones as both my partners and my phone died taking so many pictures we didn’t get pictures of everything.

We went for the annual Christmas New Year Light show (4th time) which was well up to standard. Despite the onset of torrential rain in the afternoon we did the safari drive earlier in the day and had some great up close and personal encounters as the animals were generally less sleepy than when the weather is sunny...or so it seemed 😉

Bush Farm Bison Centre: Visited in late August. I was welcomed by the owner, a charming man called Colin. Colin helped me when my car would not start. There are eight pitches in the wooded area, the pitches are very secluded. I initially visited for three nights but liked it so much, I added an extra two nights. The facilities are basic but very usable. There are drinking water stands and a site for emptying chemical toilets. The site is set is a secluded and very quiet valley away from traffic noise. The decent down the hill to the site by road reveals some wonderful scenic views. The site is close to the spectacular Fonthill Estate with it's wonderful Beckford Arms Pub, Tisbury, Shaftesbury and Salisbury, Stone Henge and Wardour Castle, (£8.00 to get into the castle which has three floors). The woodland site can get muddy, if you are 'tenting', pitch your tent on top of a tarpaulin to make life easier. Thank you Colin for making me feel welcome and for your assistance with my car. I hope to see you again soon. I did not stay in a room, therefore the option to review 'Room's' is not applicable to me.

Wonderful little campsite on the bison farm. We stayed for a weekend in July (Admittedly a wet and windy one) and virtually had the place to ourselves! Great walks through the woods and opportunities to watch the bison roam their fields.

Stayed hear for a week, in the lovely annex cottage. Lovely farm with many birds and animals. Looking forward to visiting again.

We really enjoyed our time here. It is beautifully rustice and just what we needed; talk about watching the trials and tribulations of life just seep away as the kids beaming smiles got bigger and bigger. Read a couple of reviews about the owners being unfriendly....... what utter toss that is. They are the loveliest people on earth. In honestly the only negative reviews were written by a group of cyclists..... and let's be honest even the nicest people in the world have a license to dislike cyclists...... It's not the Four Seasons and that is what makes it so beautifully relaxing. We utterly loved it and will be back for sure. Made by the silence, beauty, aninals and the effort the lovely welcoming people put into their home. The home they welcome you into.

Went camping here for 2 nights and really enjoyed. We had a great pitch at the top of a field overlooking a lake. The guys here running the place are friendly and helpful. They have a little shop where you can buy meats, eggs and a few other things. The bison and elk sausages are good! The facilities are good, hot shower, toilets and washing up area. They have a great walk around the grounds which is lovely. You can see the Bison and Elk just doing their thing. The woodland walk is beautiful too. We all really enjoyed our weekend here. Would come and stay again.

If you really like camping then you will really like this campsite - super friendly owners - peace and tranquility - the Bison burgers are fantastic 👍. Just how camping should be.

Wonderful friendly and peaceful lovely lady , excellent meat and shop ,puts everyone in a relaxed environment throughout the visit , wonderful animals to see for the whole family

If you're thinking about wild camping but haven't the nerve yet then this is the closest you will get to wild camping without actually wild camping. There's several different pitches in the woods that you can choose from, open fires are fine and there are picnic benches if you want added comfort. Being a camper you get access to the whole farm which in my opinion is great. It's a lovely walk round with some stunning views and of course, you get to see the Bison, Elks and there's a couple of stunning Owls, oh and there's some weird and wonderful poems on the walk ,too.

Great location for the Wilderness Gathering 2023. Also nice to see the bisons walking around up close.

Came here with 2 boys age 11+13...we really enjoyed ourselves, was a nice walk around the farm with friendly animals,especially the donkey's,unfortunately didn't see the goats or pigs, if there was any? The Bison and deer were quite far away, would have loved to have seen them closer, there were a few in the barns that we saw abit closer... Was nice to see all the artifacts in the shop and museum..the only thing that disappointed me was the bison burger, for the price I expected to have much better, taste wasn't good, it was small and undercooked, still pink. Overall I would come back but not buy the food.

Absolutely loved our overnight stay here. Perfect for a weekend getaway in the van. April the donkeys is great company but watch she doesn't eat your book (very apt considering the book she attempted to chomp was about trail running with donkeys 😆). Lovely little fire pits to use, with wood you can buy for £6. Picturesque and idyllic setting. We will definitely be back.

If you're looking for a woodland adventure, this is the place to go. For young children right through to adults, there's something for all. On a cycling tour, looking for a place to rest for the night, we came across bison farm online, and thought it would do. It done more than that, so much so, we ended up saying for two nights. Our pitch (pitch 1) was set back a little past the shower block. There was ample room for our two-2 man tents, with loooooads of room for more. There was a brick fire pit, which was free. The farmer sells bags of wood for £5. They're not stingey sizes either. Being huge camping fans, we're used to forreging, so used dead wood that was around us on the floor for our fires. The animals on site were incredible, from rabbits to raccoons, and ostriches​ to bison (obviously there were bison) 😊 For a small fee, you can take a tour of the farm, and see and interact with the animals. I think the small fee goes to keeping the animals. There were 2 toilets and 1 shower in the ladies. Just a wooden shack, with toilets in, what more do you need?! I've only given 4 stars, as the website never advertise having to pay to use the shower. We managed to fine one review which warned us, if not, we wouldn't have taken any cash. The showers are 2 -£1 coins (the old ones). Theres no timer on the shower, the fee is to open the door. We didn't mind paying, as we know the money will go towards the animals, but, think it should've been advertised. The farmer was a lovely welcoming man, and so too was his dogs 😁 We will 100% be going back, no sound of traffic, no pollution, absolutely peaceful, clean and stunning.

Absolutely brilliant. Loads of bison. Camping is really cheap and we pretty much had the field to ourselves. Would say only bad thing is having to pay for showers but it's not a major issue. Can have firepits in your camp to. Definitely worth a visit.

One of our favourite places to camp. Basic facilities but that's why we love it. Lovely owners.

We had a great time camping at bush farm. A perfect spot for families with the added bonus of incredible wildlife. I love that every pitch has a fire pit and lots of space. We will return.

Went here with my son for the first time recently and will definitely be going back! The value for money is really good. Admission does not cost a lot and encourages oneself to actually go up to the shop window to buy some food and drink. The play area was clean, safe and big enough for my son to spend an hour running around. The staff were friendly and productive, seen either serving it’s customers, cleaning or being friendly to the kids. Facility is located in the middle of an industrial estate, which does require you to keep your eyes open to find it, however I may have just missed all the signage. And the only other reason I have not given 5 stars is because I don’t think there is enough there yet to stay for more than an hour.

Fairly priced, very reasonable food choices, clean, lots to do with a great selection of imagination toys and sometimes activities. Well run and most importantly fun for the small humans who get to let off steam!

Lovely soft play, not too big and not too small, food is good too for the price. Lots of tables to sit at. Only given 4 stars as the locks on the toilets don't work, and it's abit chilly as the heating isn't on.

Nice soft play to take the kids and friendly staff. Only downside is it is quite cool in the winter months so it is cool inside. This doesn't put me off though, just be sure to pack a jumper for the adults not running about!

Went to watch Aladdin here this year with my family. Was a great show, would definitely recommend it.

Went to see Oliver here last night which was a fantastic show. The only negative would be to say please stop using single use plastic cups in the bar, we all need to do our part in reducing plastic waste.

Nice little theatre. Ideal for small social events, clubs coffee etc. Excellent staff and nice friendly atmosphere.

If you haven't used the Athenaeum Centre before,check it out now! Not only a brilliant Xmas Panto but live reasonably priced tribute bands, good films, plays, etc. Also a patrons bar. If you want a good reasonably priced evening out, use this venue. It's a must.

Lovely old theatre. Not much leg room so if your over 5.9 get a front or aisle seat. Staff are always friendly and welcoming.

Went to see a relative in Footloose the musical. Very friendly staff and very comfortable seats. Parking nearby. Nice little theatre.

Fantastic local theatre , great shows and events

Great pantomime, cast and crew! We all really enjoyed it, the kids laughed lots and there were more than enough jokes for just the adults ;-p ! We're going again next year

A brilliant theatre for showcasing local talent. Every show and performance I have seen here has been of excellent standard, the venue has a great atmosphere, unlike some more modern venues. The resident theatre groups are also very welcoming and are pleased to take on new members.

Today I received another really high quality delivery of meat. Everything I’ve ordered has been flavourful, melt in the mouth and delivered on time, courteously, with a smile. Thank you Downland!

I pop past the stall in wonderful, vibey Broadway Market every weekend. Fantastic farm produce, great quality and outstandingly priced. And always charming service, no matter the weather. Another wonderful way to support independent business. See you in 2024 Downland Farm

With our favourite CW Butchers being unable to open during Lockdown, their friends Downland Produce, have been a lifesaver for us being able to buy great quality meat from a local small business rather than a large supermarket chain.

Brilliant service, I can guarantee you have not tasted bacon like this from a Supermarket. Delivered to my door, quality products that saves us money.

I buy something every Saturday at their lil stand in Broadway Market; the produces are always fresh, delicious, and clean. Their people are lovely, gentle, and always up for a chat. Can’t do anything but strongly recommend them ❤️

Wonderful traditional thick slices of bacon, tasty black pudding and sausages that are so large you almost need to carve them. Can't recommend Downland enough.

The best quality meat and fantastic customer service. Would highly recommend!

Excellent service - customer service instantly onhand and totally committed to sort out a last minute problem. We ordered turkey, ham, bacon, venison and charcuterie - all had superb flavour. Well packaged. Very highly recommend.

Great church and the new vicar is a lovely lady.
