Wonderful tower tour with Brian and Maureen. Both so knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. This cathedral really is so beautiful and as a non local I had no idea just how beautiful it was. Definitely recommend the tour if you're not sacred if heights or small spaces!!

I recently visited the Peterborough Cathedral last Wednesday and am delighted to give it a five-star rating. This magnificent church, accessible to the public, left me in awe. Its origins as a monastic community dating back to 654 AD, its status as one of the most famous medieval abbeys in the country, its role as the final resting place for two queens, and its connection to the Civil War make it a truly great site. The Cathedral welcomes visitors from Monday to Saturday, between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm, and Sundays from 12:00 noon to 3:00 pm. What struck me the most was the abundance of natural light inside the church, creating a vibrant and uplifting atmosphere. It's a photographer's dream, as the lighting is simply marvellous. During quieter moments, one can truly appreciate the cathedral's rich history. Although I regret not being able to explore the upstairs tour due to my busy schedule, I hope to have the opportunity to do so in the future. Entry is by donation, and it's wheelchair accessible in the main church area.

Steeped in centuries of history and architectural grandeur, Peterborough Cathedral stands as a timeless beacon of tranquility and serenity amidst the bustling cityscape. From its majestic facade to the hushed interiors, every corner of this sacred edifice exudes an aura of peace and calm, inviting visitors to pause, reflect, and immerse themselves in its timeless beauty. As one approaches the cathedral, its imposing silhouette commands attention, towering over the surrounding landscape with an air of quiet dignity. Yet, upon stepping inside, one is enveloped in a sense of profound stillness, where the cares of the world seem to fade away in the presence of such sacred majesty. The cathedral's interior is a study in sublime simplicity, with soaring arches and delicate stonework that speak to the skill and craftsmanship of generations past. Bathed in the soft glow of filtered sunlight, the nave beckons with its spaciousness, offering a sanctuary for quiet contemplation and introspection. Throughout the cathedral, the atmosphere remains hushed and reverent, punctuated only by the occasional whisper of footsteps or the distant echo of a choir's song. Here, amidst the ancient walls and weathered stone, visitors find solace in the stillness, finding respite from the noise and chaos of the outside world. For those seeking a moment of quiet reflection, the cathedral's cloisters provide a peaceful retreat, where one can wander in solitude amidst the tranquil beauty of the surrounding gardens. Here, amidst the fragrant blooms and gently swaying trees, the mind finds rest and the spirit finds renewal. In conclusion, Peterborough Cathedral stands as a timeless testament to the power of quietude and contemplation. Within its hallowed halls, amidst the whispers of centuries past, visitors find a sanctuary of peace and calm, inviting them to pause, reflect, and find solace in the beauty of the divine.

Stunning architecture - especially for a building that has its origins 900 yrs ago. Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII's first wife, and Mary Queen of Scots are buried here. Well worth seeing.

First time to Peterborough and visited the Cathedral - the guide we spoke to was incredibly helpful and so passionate about sharing the stories and history with us, she also recommended other places to visit nearby. Well worth a visit! Reminded me of York Minster.

My first visit here . So took my breath away. Absolute beautiful. Lovely welcome from staff/volunteer too. You can carpark on Brook Street for two it's £3.00. Bout 20 minutes walk to the cathedral. Took loads of photos here . Love it here. I definitely recommend visiting here. Top 5 star rating

Very pretty cathedral! Lovely walk around and I hope to visit again. Its full of history including the place of burial of Katherine of Aragon, Henry 8th first wife and the place Mary Queen of Scots was buried before she was moved in 1612.

A lovely peaceful place to look around. There are some fine stained glass windows and interesting facts about the burial of Katherine of Aragon and Mary Queen of Scots - who knew the were interred there for a time?

I did the architectural tour of the cathedral. If this interests you then I highly recommend it. Fantastic guides that had me hanging on their every word. The morning tour took in the ground floor and outside areas, followed by lunch in Becketts tearooms. Then the afternoon spent in the upper levels and roof. I absolutely loved seeing the bones of the building.

If i could give this more stars i would! Absolutely breath taking place of history and beauty! Always love coming here to visit, its like walking into the history of the past, travel back in time! Lots to look at, cemetery at rear end, I don't need to honestly say much as the building speaks for itself, absolutely stunning. Always captivating! EDIT - if you're a fan of the deep blue sea history then come to the cathedral in July 2024, they are hosting a event in relation to the sea 🌊 🦈 looks like its going to be a fantastic one so dont miss out!

Beautiful place with amazing architecture. Free entry but I suggest to leave a donation for the up keep of this historical building. Gift shop and toilets inside.

A "must see" in city center. Absolutely majestic and manificient. Loved the architecture, the woodwork. We spend almost an hour exploring the beauty of this large cathedral.

My son was a chorister here for 6 years. When people hear of Peterborough they don’t think of a cathedral. This is a simply stunning building. It’s one of the Fens crown Jewell’s. It’s an a amazing building but it’s a place of worship. I would recommend, whatever your faith or conviction, to attend choral evensong. That’s a real experience in an incredible building

Coming from Australia on a motorbike tour of UK. I had heard from locals in London that Peterborough was worth visiting.. They were correct. It has been a lovely experience. Your cathedral is breathtaking. The doorman - Philip was such a wealth of knowledge. This history he talked about of this amazing cathedral was very memorable.. It made our experience and such a real pleasure and we will pass on it’s a place to visit to your town. Thank you

Very nice cathedral and surrounding buildings. Pity it closes so early, 5pm. You need to park your car far away. This gives you a plus too. The old part of Peterborough has some nice photogenic buildings. So take your time wandering around. I didn't go inside and the walk and shooting photos took me 2 hours.

It is absolutely magnificent and beautiful, very friendly service. Lots of things to see and learn from the historic cathedral.

Magnificent Cathedral in the centre of Peterborough. A truly impressive Cathedral with significant history, with; The Hedda Stone, Katherine of Aragon's tomb, Mary Queen of Scots original burial place and a memorial to Edith Cavell. Originally an Abbey it was saved by the Abbot from ruin by Henry VIII. It is free to enter but a donation is welcome and well deserved. 😎👍👍👍

Gorgeous cathedral, the celling looks stunning with all the paintings and sculptures well preserved. You can visit the ground floor yourself when it is open, and the tour is organised (on Wednesdays) to the Tower with the ability to climb upstairs to see the upper floors. Absolutely stunning place and a must-see if you are visiting Peterborough.

This is an absolute must if you visit Peterborough, no excuses. We went on the upper floor and roof tour, frightening and exciting all in one, unreal views of the inside and outside areas, great tour guides filled with expert knowledge. We then went on the ground floor tour, again a wonderful tour guide with expert knowledge. Not expensive either for such a magnificent time.

We just visited Peterborough for the first time having traveled up from south Wales. Peterborough cathedral is definitely the jewel in the crown, it's an amazing building full of history inside its breathtakingly beautiful architecture is stunning. There is also a cafe which serves really nice food.

You have to visit this magnificent building. Full of history and tranquility at the same time. The staff were helpful, the shop has souvenirs, there are brief explanations displayed everywhere. I di not get to the tour, hope to do so next visit.

Beautiful cathedral and very friendly volunteers who welcomed us as we entered it. There is a lot to see there. We visited just after Christmas and there was still a lovely smell of Christmas tree around the building. We visited as a family and our kids really enjoyed exploring the cathedral.

Wonderful church, amazing historic building. Over the centuries the building has been affected by various people (local, national) dignitaries. Local, national governments and of cause the monarchy. National, international events ( civil, world wars).

Peterborough Cathedral is a mesmerizing example of Romanesque and Gothic architecture, with its imposing facade and intricate interior. The striking West Front features an array of medieval sculptures, while the vast nave and colorful stained glass windows provide a sense of awe-inspiring grandeur. The beautifully preserved medieval wooden ceiling is a sight to behold, and the intricate fan vaulting in the eastern transept is a testament to the cathedral's impressive craftsmanship. History enthusiasts will appreciate the connection to Katharine of Aragon, whose tomb lies within the cathedral. Whether you're drawn to its architectural splendor, spiritual significance, or rich historical heritage, a visit to Peterborough Cathedral is a captivating experience that leaves a lasting impression.

A real gem for Peterborough. So much amazing history in this Cathedral, including the burial of two Queens (one now moved to London). It’s amazing to be able to visit the resting place of Katherine of Aragon, one of Henry the VIII’s wives, a huge part of English history. Make sure you take a walk around the outside too, there are remains of the original abbey still to be seen.

A remarkable cathedral which is free to enter and features stunning historical architecture. It has beautiful stained glass windows and the entire cathedral is warm inside thanks to the large radiators located throughout the building that heat it up. I recommend anybody who is interested in this cathedral to visit it.

Peterborough Cathedral is an architectural masterpiece that captures centuries of history in its grandeur. The stunning Gothic design, intricate stained glass windows, and awe-inspiring vaulted ceilings are a testament to human craftsmanship and devotion. As you wander through its hallowed halls, you can't help but be transported back in time, feeling the weight of the ages

Nice location but expensive if you buy food here. Plenty of space to bring a picnic which we will do next time. Lots of BBQ stations so bring your own charcoal and enjoy Bit of a sewer smell wafting around periodically which made it feel a bit dirty. Car park pay on exit works well and should be a similar system everywhere. Will probably return again next summer

Excellent location near Nene Park. Big site but immaculate. Ideal for "country" walks around Nene Park and Lake, took us about an hour to walk all the way around the lake We also cycled alongside the railway line on cycle paths towards Peterborough and then back along the side of the rowing and canoe course, past the golf course and through the wooded section of Nene Park -easy flat route. On an afternoon we walked to the cuckoo pub along a wooded path and through the industrial estate - about 30/40 min walk. Dog friendly pub and served good beers. Large CAMC site with plenty to do. Would visit again.

We have been coming here for years. My eldest is 18 this year and i have been bringing him since he was a few months old. I have since had 2 other boys who absolutely love coming here they are 8 &11. How you have revamped each area over the last few years is stunning. We very often meet friends and family here in the holidays as there is plenty to do for everyone and the kids have so much fun and have so much space to run around in. The newest part nearest the lake i have to say is my sons favourite and mine at the moment. Well done to everyone involved in looking after the park 💙❤️

Beautiful place. Perfect for a dog walk . Dog friendly shop. Very well maintained. Drinking water refills is a good thing, especially in the hot weather. Thank you.

It was a wonderful experience, with clear and sunny sky. It was a picnic weather and we did not miss the chance. This park has barbecue stand, where you can bring your own food and charcoal to enjoy and it is absolutely free and first come basis. Toilets are there but not very clean but it is same as other public place. Car park is huge but cost is on higher side. There is a huge water body, where you can enjoy water rides and also restaurants are available. There is a small train 🚂 you can ride on too with your child and children playing area is also available

The park in Peterborough is truly marvelous and breathtaking. The expansive lake adds to its stunning beauty, making it one of the largest parks in the area. What's even better is that the entrance is free, and the park offers a lengthy and picturesque space for walking and hiking. Conveniently, there's parking available on-site, along with restroom facilities. The presence of a cafe adds to the overall convenience, and I was delighted to discover private boat rides available on the lake. The enchanting nature of the park captivated me, creating a truly mesmerizing and unforgettable atmosphere.

This is one of the most beautiful places to spend a day out in nature. There is a special area designed for barbecue, playground for kids with sand, water and green grass. There is also a little train that you can ride from one side to another of the park. Another good thing is that you can visit and stay with your own motor home- caravan or tent. I do recommend to hire one of the equipments like boat, swan or kaiac and saile around the lake. Kids were very happy all day!

Lovely,large country park. Well maintained,miles of walks and lots of things to do. Ideal for families with children of all ages. There are plenty of places to picnic, some with BBQ which you would need to bring charcoal for, and several cafe's offering a reasonable range of items. For those staying at the adjacent Caravan and Motorhome Club Site it's an added bonus. I'd highly ya visit.

Lovely country park on the western edge of Peterborough. Lots of walks on good tarmac paths around the lakes plus a cafe and a bar with water sports, playground and a miniature railway.

Absolutely wonderful place - highly recommend! Stayed at the camping and motorhome club site next door. Walk out of gates into park. The wildlife is amazing, as are the facilities. A huge site, easy to find peace and quiet.

Lots to do for all ages, well cared and maintained. Paths good for my mobility scooter. Beautiful riverside walk, in woodlands and open land. Plenty of space for all. Cafe and toilets available or better still have your own picnic

This place was on our list for months. I was not disappointed when we visited the place. Beautiful scenery. Lovely place for a walk, bike or picnic. Great playground for kids. Really enjoyed our day out.

Travelled 1.5hrs to get it and it was more than worth it. Definitely our favourite place to visit. Stunning lake and views, really lovely circular walk round. Huge field for dogs to run around including some agility equipment. A nice paddle area for dogs & people. We loved it here.

Maybe visiting after heavy rain wasn't the best idea as most of the footpaths around the lakes were flooded, as was the large play area but still some nice walks to be had. Well stocked visitor centre with some local gifts. Parking is relatively cheap as well. Very busy in the park though! I get the impression Peterborough doesn't have many other public spaces like this so everyone goes here!?

Came here after searching for somewhere to walk whilst on holiday with family and our dog. There are lots of lovely, accessible walks around the park and seems to be lots of activities that take place there throughout the year. There's also a lovely cafe and shop (both of which welcome dogs) to take a break in when you're done exploring!

3 pleasant lakes with walks. Bird hide... play grounds. Cafe and shop. Waterworks centre and another cafe on third lake. The local council let it run down during and after covid and seem to be making a big effort to bring things back up to standard. Nothing is cheap there as a result!

Went to winter festival was a tad disappointed only 2 small fairground attractions when advertised as being a Victorian fair ? The light trail was nice especially for little ones for bigger people could have been a bit more extravagant although thumbs up for the lovely sustainable willow animals throughout. Some of them very big..at the end of the trail there was a fairy enactment by 6 actor/ singers. Very sweet for the children. At this end there is a firepit where you can toast marshmallows bur at £4 for 1 on a stick was ridiculous, my advice is take you own if you want toasted mallows. Overall a nice chrismassy feel about it..enjoy the baikeys hot chocolate 🍫

Whilst visiting the area on business we wanted to get a few hours walk in and someone told us to visit here. So glad we did, and it was a beautifull afternoon to visit such a lovely place , beautifully maintained, loads of wild birds and so much open space for children to play. Managed to catch the cafe for a hot chocolate before it closed, very pleasant walk, would love a place like this near me.

We're very lucky to have this on our doorstep, it's a lovely place to walk whatever the season. The only negative is when people choose to ignore the park rules and allow their dogs to be off their leads (we visited at the time when the park was trialling a scheme where dogs had to be on leads at all times but sadly a few people seemed to think that they were exempt from this!). As much as we love dogs, it can be extremely intimidating when a strange dog runs up to you and starts snarling and growling and doesn't pay any heed to its owner's calls. Furthermore, if a dog can be that disobedient, then what's to stop it from harming wildlife?? Also another note of warning, there are quite a few cyclists who use the park, so keep an eye (or ear!) out for them to avoid any potential accidents. Aside from that, it's a great place for a walk, enjoying the beautiful natural landscape, with the chance to spot wildlife and if you fancy a hot drink or something to eat, there are a couple of onsite cafes/restaurant that offer a variety of sandwiches and cakes. There are a couple of play parks too, if you have young kids who need to expend a bit of energy! We also got to see the new Willow Bridge that has replaced the old pontoon bridge and it looks amazing! There are onsite toilets and a gift shop and a car park too (car parking charges apply).

Nene Valley Railway is a great day out there is lots to do and great value, in fact you can walk round the station and yard totally free of charge. Staff are very friendly and full of information regarding the railway, Train rides are very reasonable price wise. There is a great cafe and gift shop, also for train collectors there is a small shop selling everything from toy trains to railway signs plus charity shop. I took my kids there with no money in my pocket and we had a great time.

Visited Nene Valley Railway back in April while the Sir Nigel Gresley was on tour there. The station is very picturesque with a lovely cafe situated inside. We were lucky to get a guided tour of the workshop and steam sheds which was fascinating with a lot of history behind every locomotive stored there. There were a lot of families and enthusiasts visiting and the station was busy but never felt crowded. Really enjoyed the day and will be looking forward to visiting again.

We are on holiday and the four of us went on the train yesterday the whole experience was amazing. There was so many different engines and trucks to look at , plenty of volunteers with years of knowledge to answer your questions . There is a lovely cafe at the station. There is also a bar on the train so you can have a cold or hot drink. We saw school children enjoying the day, and asking their teachers lot's of interesting questions . All the volunteers were very friendly and helpful 🙂

Me and my 7 year old had a great day out. Easy parking, good facilities and helpful staff. Have been to their HST days too and that was fun as well.

Incredible experience, my train mad son loved the steam engine! Unfortunately the steam engine had a fault so we have to wait 1hour+ to go to the next stop which by then was too late to go to other stops too. The replaced the steam engine with diesel which wasn't as exciting as steam but things happen. Really friendly staff too.

We had a fantastic day here. Staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. We got to ride on some amazing trains and view some great trains also. Would definitely recommend a day out here.

Nene Valley Railway 🚂🚃🚃. Children loved the Christmas Special, Santa, Elves, etc. The Santa Special Steam Train Journey was a great experience, with the afternoon tea on board. Lots of steam filling the air. Most off this set up is reliant on volunteers, who keep this place alive, so although the tickets may sound a lot, the funds go towards the great expense of running the railway and restoration of everything from trains to museum artifacts.

My son & I had a lovely time on the 92 Squadron steam train, in comfort of 1st class seating. We even had the pleasure of listening to some people singing Christmas Carol's while on the train. Which lasted 75 minutes travelling along the beautiful Nene Valley, through picturesque landscape of water Meadows, arable farmland & country park.

A family afternoon treat with fish & chips on the train. Great service from all staff, who were friendly, helpful & genuinely happy to be there. Fish & chips were great too. Totally recommend this especially to families. Parking was a little tricky though so allow for time to park before you get on the train. Shops also worth a look, charity shop has good quality things in.

Firstly I’d like to say, every staff/volunteer makes you feel number 1 there. 3 of us had the stone baked pizza & each of us said it was great & just the right size. The guy serving in the cafe was very polite & cleaned our table too. I’d recommend that place even if you don’t take a train ride. I was surprised that this live wasn’t packed for tourists on a bank holiday Monday (maybe they all did the morning train, we did the last steam train). It was a beautiful 1959 polish steam engine. There seems to be a lovely change over every so often of steam engines. This place is also dog friendly. Thank you to everyone there. Recommend 100% & hopefully will return. Please support this steam line.

What a great experience! Steam engine ride for two hours with a fish and chip dinner served on board can't be bad. All the "staff" are unpaid volunteers. The time on the train is 2 hours. If you want a drink from the train bar go early to beat the queue. After that just sit back and enjoy. Very relaxed, happy to let you have pictures in the engine etc. Highly recommended.

We went on Thomas weekend. Recommend the Robert ticket if you like traveling on trains as you can go on the trains as many times as you like and get on and off on the track to Peterborough. The Carrot Hunt was really good for the children and they loved to have their photo taken with the Easter Bunny. Highly recommend a visit. Lots of engines to look at and play area for children including a gift shop and cafe on the platform and on the trains buffet cart. The staff were very friendly and interacted well with the children making it a fun day. .

A beutifull location with a very deep proud history of the train station and trains. The facilities are very good with a nice cafe, very suprised for such a rural location. There is also places to sit by the river and have a picnic. On top of that a great area for rambling with public footpaths through the fields.

Xmas eve Santa Special. The best £25 per person we've spent at Christmas. Elves and Santa all over the train and before hand , amazing present given in Santa's groto. NVR do such an amazing job at Christmas. 5 stars out of 5 . ✌️

Annual Santa train ride for the family. They'd upped the Ante this year, food was great, Carol singers on the train and an excellent Santa! Love the cafe there too - we always get there early for a cuppa. Great experience!

I was honoured and happy to perform here for their first Santa special trains over the weekend. It is a wonderful station and steam railway 🔥✨🧡

A great place to come for an evening out.you can have a good meal and dont even have to leave your table to place a bet Food in the raceview restaurant is on par with any other restaurant. They offer 3 packages bronze silver and gold. We opted for the gold package which meant we got free entry a race card a drink on arrival a 4 course meal and coffee excellent value would highly recommend

Good fun environment with decent value food. It is going to win any awards but you get what you pay for there.

Fabulous experience, great food and run by fantastic young people who really understand how to deliver excellent customer service!

Lovely friendly staff, booths are well kept, neat and tidy. Good evening out for a big group of people and a good selection of beer place could do with a bit of modernisation all in all but it's not too dated.

Good night had by all, we had the silver restaurant deal and it was great value for lovely food. Betting wasn't a problem as a lady came to our table before every race and took our bets and paid any winnings.

Great fun. Nice staff and nice food

Great food, amazing staff and excellent atmosphere

My son and I absolutely love it here and have been going for years. We visited for the Christmas experience with friends and it was absolutely magical. There was so much to do for the price, the staff were so friendly as always and the kids loved seeing Santa of course! We will definitely be back for the Christmas experience again. Inside was beautifully decorated, the kids were able to write letters to Santa, have a Christmas story, toast marshmallows, have photos on Santa's sleigh and spend as long as they wanted going round the farm too! In the summer, the natural stream area is lovely for the kids to play in (and the dog!) The fact that it is dog friendly is a huge plus. We love the mill and the animals, and the park area is absolutely massive. We love having this on our doorstep!

Fabulous day out with family. Loads to do (will have to come back to complete), loads to see. Sacrewell Farm boasts the best outdoor playground EVER! My grandchildren loved it. Word of warning: extracting children from the playground area may result in tears!

Farm, campsite, playground, cafe and heritage type. Lovely location easy to get to. Doesn't look like we enter the right place as some areas are sealed up for the campsite. But when entering the reception it takes up a whole lot of facilities. The reception has a small selection of toys especially lots of cuddle toys. There is a large cafe next to the shop which is amazingly large, clean and plenty of food selection with outdoor seating and a small children's play area. Upon entry to the main door we came across two ways. The indoor barn was nice clean and a great selection for young children to run and play. However I was disappointed that there was no mini cafe IE drink, cake biscuit while you sit at the picnic table type. When outside there is a small obstacle course, race kart and seaside type for young children and a sensory type garden with vegetables growing for preschool children to learn. The other direction, you enter into a large play area for mixture ages children which is very good to entertain children with couple of seating area. When you enter out of the play area you come across to a farm animals, heritage material, windmill and wild play area with lake. This is my only downfall I find disappointed. To me I find lack of group animals, lack of interaction animals, the bunny are in not the right location due to impairment in another location and feel there not in the right property as it is dark and cold, messy in certain places, heritage machines falling disrepair or hiding overgrown weed, lack of information, the walk is kind of misguiding. The walk in house was very disappointing and pointless to enter in, the windmill was not what I expected. They also do courses on the blacksmith Thursday to Sunday which I think is fantastic if you are into it and woodcarving course various depends when. They do party for young children and they do school education and have a large room for them to visit and learn. I would visit the cafe as it is top notch but until the farming side needs adjusting I would leave out however with play area I'm kind of stuck in between. There is a walk way den type but unfortunately it was close due to wood cutting.

Wonderful farm with play facilities. Suitable for babies and school age children. Just the right distance to walk around although if it's wet use a baby carrier instead of a pram as becomes difficult to navigate outside. We can't wait to visit the sensory play park once it's finished.

We visited for an astronomy night recently. Plenty of parking. Prompt check in on arrival despite it being very busy. We visited the planetarium which was set up in the play barn. The play barn was shut off but looks excellent, as did the outside play area we seen. We had food in the cafe which was reasonably priced and good quality. The staff were all really lovely and helpful. There is a nice little gift shop on site with a great variety of things to buy. It is quite a distance for us to travel but we are planning to do a day trip there in the spring to look around the farm as there is more than enough to make the trip worth it.

Outstanding place to visit with children of most ages. So much to see and do there. We stayed from pretty much open till close and still didn't see everything there was. The man who drives the tractor was particularly nice to us and went the extra mile with our child, thank you very much for that. We had food from the cafe and found it to be very reasonably priced and good quality. San excellent place to take your kids again and again. If you bring a picnic with you if say to bring about an extra £10 per child to spend on the various little things that need money.

We've got a season ticket for Sacrewell. Geese and goslings, ducks and ducklings, swans checking the millpond out. Just a sample of the wildlife. Lots of farm animals too including plus donkeys and ponies. Origin8 cafe with friendly staff and good food. A play barn and outside playground. Historic water mill. Something for all ages!

This is a wonderful place to take young children. So much for them to do, see and experience. I took my children there when they were young quite regularly. It was great to return with my grandsons. I have to say it’s improved hugely – it’s worth a visit just for the indoor and outdoor play areas. The beautiful setting, the mill, the craft area, the animals, the tractor trailer ride, all add to making it a great day out for all the family. What’s remained constant though is the great value for money.

What a lovely place, a hidden gem and it shouldn't be. Great outdoor play area, large indoor play area, some interesting boutique shops, animals to see, and lots of fresh aid and countryside. And friendly staff, which is becoming more a novelty these days, so take advantage of you live nearby and go visit. Brilliant.

Pleasant place to visit with small children, though there was less to entertain older ones. The indoor play barn was fine, but the outdoor play area looked newer and better equipped. Overall we felt the price was fair, though there are some additional costs if you want to do activities or use some of the equipment (digger in ball pit, go karts).

Came here as a meeting point to spend time with family.. see some animals and little girl to play. The play area is brilliant with different parts for each age group, our daughter loved it. The nature walks and tree house was good fun. Plenty to do with nice cafe in site aswell.

Nice place for a picturesque short walk seeing farm animals and the mill pond etc. Most people attending here are interested in the play areas so other places are very quiet. Be careful when buying a ticket as the prices are misleading. You're asked if you want to gift aid which leads you to believe that you're just giving permission to claim gift aid on your ticket price. NOT SO you're agreeing to buy a ticket plus an additional donation which has gift aid claimed against it. This is explained in the small print on the displayed prices but it's a naughty way to go about it.

I visited the farm today with my partner and we had a lovely day in the nature with the animals, etc. Everything looks very well kept and the animals look well looked after, which is very important for us. There were plenty of places for the children to play so it also looks like a great place for them to spend the day. Definitely recommended.

A great place to visit. The playground and soft play are quite extensive and have lots to do for children of all ages. I was impressed with how well they are maintained. The water mill was a pleasant walk and there were extra activities there for the children. We ate in the cafe which was fine, nothing outstanding but we had a fair lunch.

Perfect little farm! Few animals to look at and very well designed and signed posted. They have a kids play barn and also an outdoor area with plenty to do. Food available and lots of parking. Make sure to visit if you are in the area or near by, you won’t be disappointed. Great day out with the family. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just got home having taken my two kids on a Dadventure day. The place is too big. There’s too much for the kids to do, rain or shine. The animals are looked after too well. The food, too fresh is priced too low. The facilities were too clean! The place invests too much money back in to itself and it shows. There is too much emphasis on kids and animals. We arrived at 10am and were way too tired from all the play and activities come 1630! We got more than our monies worth and unfortunately I’ll be visiting again soon to do it all again. Thank you.

Sat nav using the postcode is not accurate but once you are close by it's well signposted. Not many animals but those that are there are well cared for. Lots of climbing frames and children's outdoor play equipment so great for them but it's definitely not geared up for adults with out children and I don't think I would take a special needs child there because not enough animals . Rough walking for grandparents

Great experience for the kid. Big play areas both indoors and outdoors. Large variety of animals and things for the kids to see and walk around.

It is clean and animals are well catered for in a beautiful area. That cannot be ignored. However a farm park is a stretch. Think more preserved agricultural and mill area with a token few animals. And then large climbing frames for the kids. As a kids day out it is great. But only because of the park and the soft play. 0 to do with the farm. As someone who has gone to many of their events over the years. They are becoming less and less focused on the events. And the kids. And more about the profit. This years easter was actually the turning point that has made us point blank say no events there again. Not even an easter egg for the ever increasing price. the pick of 3/4 tiny items that had to be selected at each table. One of which was school supplies ?!?! At easter?!?! No cute area for the parent to get pictures with the easter bunny. And a tiny field condensing everything together so no one could hqve any relief or enjoyment and prams where an absolute nightmare. All endingg in yhe kids moaning they want an easter egg all the way home.

My family go to Sacrewell a lot and our two children love it there. Today they came back from visiting saying what a lovely time they'd had there and especially how nice the resident Blacksmith was. He took time to have a chat with my wife and children and ended up teaching them to play chess. I don't often post reviews, but I thought he should be commended for being so friendly and making it a lovely afternoon for my family. Thank you!

Not very happy my family of 6 and 4 grandchildren were so excited as we had visited last year. The Christmas experience was amazing. But not this year NOTHING more like SCROOGE Christmas, the farm was CLOSED, no Santa letter writing, no story telling from the Elves, no decoration making, really very unhappy and grandchildren sad. The only thing available was the soft play area.

Visited Sacrewell for a session at the Blacksmith's forge, given as a birthday present. It was a fantastic experience and a lovely day out. I loved the forge and, under the expert tutelage of Lance, made a decent stab at making a fire poker. I cannot recommend this enough. If you think this might be of even the slightest interest to you, book now and do it; you will not be disappointed. The rest of the farm is also lovely and, with lambs, kids, calves, etc, there is more cuteness than anyone can cope with.

This is the second year my husband and I take our three kids here to this beautiful farm during the fall season. They love the activities the staff sets up and there is lot of room to wander the grounds, while seeing farm animals and nature. Also one of the best playgrounds you will come across.

Visited here with little great niece and family what a fabulous time we had, beautifully set up for little ones, loads to do and lovely animals. Thoroughly enjoyed it x Dog friendly too x cafe did great food

Amazing place! I never spent more than an hour in a museum, but this was so engaging. Instead overloading with information they make you feel that experience by touching the items, wearing clothes, taking pictures and background sounds. Highly recommended! Also there’s no entry ticket, just donate if you like.

The museum is a short walk from the High Street, it contains a number of areas but we felt it could of had stuff that was a bit more hands on for the small people. Entry is free, so you can wonder round as quickly or slowly as you like without the need to try and get your moneys worth. The gallery is also located here, and they have some beautiful pictures / paintings, we rushed through with two small people, but managed to get a look! Worth looking out on event days, the kids did manage to make a roman helmet mask. The staff we spoke to seemed friendly. There was also a cafe located at the building.

Gr8 local museum with several sections over Peterborough's history - from dinosaur finds, Roman times, Victorian medicine and medical procedures, farming & travel, industry, Napoleonic prison camps & objects made by the French prisoners (absolutely fantastic), and several oil portraits of prominent Peterborough locals! Not too big so should be able to do it in about 1 hr.

This was honestly more interesting than I expected. There's more to Peterborough than I expected. Also good coffee and cake

It's such a lovely museum. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. I will be coming here again soon. Thank you 😊

Lovely museum depicting the history of Peterborough, going as far back as the Jurassic period when Peterborough was under water. Collections amassed over a 130 year period. The collections are separated and spread over a number of floors and it sections is wonderfully set out with artefacts and information boards, with many interactive items and even clothing for the kids to try on. It also holds a shop and a cafe, an art gallery showing historical photos and paintings and temporary exhibitions too. And what makes this a great place to visit also is that entry is free.

Went to see Urban, a brilliant contemporary art exhibition featuring artists such a Banksy, Tracey Emin & Damien Hirst. Well worth a visit.

Great place, so much better then I expected. Exhibits from different time periods, child and mobility friendly. Didn't get to spend as long as I wanted to, but will definetly go again 🙂.

Really interesting place to visit, had a kids search option for today and they had fun searching for the lettered paw prints.

Very interesting and interactive museum! Many of the exhibits there you can actually touch and experience! Had a fun time with my daughter where we had a showing of Roman armour and weapons where she got the opportunity to try them on! Many different exhibits, some we weren't expecting, like a toys through the years exhibit, made me feel old! Great place, highly recommend going!

I visited the Peterborough Museum, It was big and had lots of historical items unique to the peoples of ancient peterborough

This is a delightful museum. We visited during the school holidays & it was busy, with a good number of young families - all clearly enjoying themselves. There was an exhibition of paintings of local scenes by a local artist, which were very appealing (& would be interesting from a historical perspective to locals, especially as old photos were displayed alongside). The fossil gallery is bound to be a big draw with kids. Interesting to read about the work of 2 local palaeontologists. Roman section also very interesting. Didn't have time to see the Norman Cross finds, so will have to go back! Nice little café.

This is a real gem of a museum we saw an exhibition called the reunions exhibition 1 and 2 about young people in Peterborough some 30 years ago it was brilliant. The staff in the restaurant are very nice and it has a good selection of bites to eat

This was a fascinating place to spend a couple of hours, with lots of information boards to read alongside the exhibits. I found the section on Norman Cross particularly interesting, but in truth everything else was worth seeing. The friendly man behind the reception desk was particularly helpful at answering a couple of my questions after I had looked around, drawing on his knowledge of working there for 24 years and knowing the place inside out.

Great displays and informative text about local areas years ago. Young children with an adult explaining how things came to happen ,with all the visual displays is a great way to learn local history. The cafe is also an asset to the building to make a visit more attractive as so much to read and view .

I have great affection for Peterborough Museum and have been visiting there for many years out of personal interest and as an archaeology student. It's a fascinating building with an equally fascinating history, along with some great stories. There's a very nice cafe by the gift shop, and an art gallery on the ground floor that hosts some excellent exhibitions. All of the displays are ranged over several floors and are accessible by stairs or lift. Each section is well presented, although some of the interactive areas have suffered at the hands of overenthusiastic children in recent years (the museum is closing for repairs soon, so maybe these issues will be addressed?) However, the main reason for my review is because we attended a ghost walk hosted by Peterborough Museum recently and it was brilliant. The guide, Mark, was excellent! His delivery was a perfect mix of humour, spookiness and history, and he held our attention throughout. I can thoroughly recommend the museum and especially the ghost walks. I understand that this initiative has been undertaken to boost funding, so do support them as this is well worth the fee! This wasn't cheap, tacky ghoulish entertainment, this was a heritage tour delivered intelligently and with humour. If you're a Peterborian, go and learn about your city. If you're not, go anyway - you'll be amazed at Peterborough's rich history!

Wonderful place. Would recommend to anyone, with a Peterborough connection or not. Lots of work must go on behind the scenes. The exhibits are fantastic, well thought out, with some special objects and items on display; the accompanying text is engaging and well written. Decent little cafe, too.
