If you are using any supplier which you are paying for, they must be self-sufficient and have their own liability insurance. This means they do not require things such as electric from the site.

We do welcome them and want you to make the most of your weekend with lots of fun experiences!

Strictly no suppliers using gas or fireworks or any equipment/items which can spark or make loud noises which can scare animals.

If you are looking for exciting ideas and are not sure if it’s OK to book them, just give us a call and we are more than happy to discuss! Good suppliers generally come fully equipped and feel free to ask us for recommendations!

Please remember : any alcohol consumed must be AFTER any activity or experience you partake in. 

Farm Adventure has the right to stop anyone partaking in any activity or experience if they are suspected to be under the influence of alcohol.

If you want to enjoy a few drinks with your BBQ which is after your activities, please contact the team directly to discuss.

If you are staying with us for the weekend, in your accommodation unit, you will find a small portable speaker which you can bluetooth to and is yours to use at your leisure.

We DO NOT permit you to bring speakers or amps (amplifiers) as we are very considerate of all our neighbours. Even though our locations are beautiful and somewhat remote, sound does travel, so we want to make sure we don’t disturb people.

Strictly NO BANDS ALLOWED. One person playing an instrument like an acoustic guitar, is no problem! If you have any queries on this, please just give us a call.

There is a smart TV in the accommodation for you to use.

If you need to connect to a laptop or other equipment, you will need to bring the correct cables to connect

We do not allow guests to bring BBQs as they are a fire risk.

Remember, if you’re staying in our accommodation, you’ll be having a BBQ on Saturday, cooked by us! Or if you're visiting for a day only as a group, you can book our tasty home-reared BBQ! 

We firstly cook our BBQ on our Muck Spreader Grill! Have a look when you visit us - it's an old upcycled piece of genuine farming equipment, now used for BBQing! Ironic it was used to spread poo once upon a time!

The main ingredients are our home-reared beef burgers & pork sausages, which are made locally by our butchers. These are all gluten-free. For the veggies & vegans, we cook veggie burgers & sausages in place of the meat products, separately of course, but on the BBQ.

To go with this, we provide a fresh bread roll, cheddar cheese, coleslaw, tomato & mozarella salad, lettuce & gherkins. All ingredients are there for you to help yourself to and build you plate!

There will be sauces & crisps for you to add the finishing touches!

Plenty of food to fill yourself after all that hard work!

You will be asked in advance of your visit to us, for any gluten, vegetarian or vegan requirements, so we can cook food to order.

We can offer the vegetarian option in place of Halal requirements.

We sell cans of pop such as Coke & Diet Coke and others. We also sell mini pots of ice creams.

We don't sell bottled water. We provide tap water for you to help yourself to (paper cups provided), with an aim to reduce plastic waste, so bring your reuseable water bottle!

We sell our merchandise too, which can include bamboo sunglasses, slogan t-shirts, beanies, travel mugs & mugs. More items may be available!

Of course! Get creative and find inspo from our social media channels to see what other groups have worn before!

Just remember, if you're wearing any inflatable outfit, you might need batteries! Sometimes we do sell them on site, but it's not guaranteed!

Also, just make sure you prepare for having to take the outfits off - you know, incase you start getting competitive and it's holding you back for example!!

The Farmer’s Hunt is an add-on to The Ultimate Farmer Activities. 

It is a 2 hour ramble, where teams are set off across the fields with a map and some questions, and their mission is to find the answers to the questions with the help of the map.

The scores you obtain from this hunt, will be added on to your scores from The Ultimate Farmer to see which team are the overall Supreme Champions!

The hunt essentially gives you a full day visit to us, to fully immerse yourselves in the countryside!

PLEASE NOTE : It is ONLY available currently in North Yorkshire

Farm Adventure operates Monday to Saturday.

We are closed on a Sunday at both locations due to it being a “rest day” for the animals and team!

Please refer to our Terms & Conditions for further advice.

Remember to consider all aspects of being on a farm which has risks in itself plus taking part in the activities.

Any refund is as per our Terms and Conditions, but a conversation with their doctor is the first port of call before making any decisions on coming or not.

The best thing to do if you have people who want to book slightly different options to the main booking requirement, is to get in touch with our team.

They can talk through options.

We aim to be flexible, but we do have some restrictions.

For example, if you are staying for the weekend, and there are a few day only guests, we limit the number of the day only guests.

Another example would be if you are a day visitor, and have more people for the BBQ than for the activities.

Please just Get In Touch to discuss.

We are not trained to be able to advise whether Farm Adventure is suitable for anyone with special needs or special requirements.

Our instructors will do their utmost to include everyone in the group, as much as they feel comfortable with.

Please refer to our accessibility statements for access to the site and accommodation for the location you are looking at.

Minimum numbers for The Ultimate Farmer Activities only, is 8

Minimum numbers for an overnight stay in Shropshire is 8.

Minimum numbers for an overnight stay in Yorkshire is 10.

Unfortunately we cannot book groups in who do not meet this minimum requirement.

Please note : if you make a booking for a weekend stay with us in Shropshire, as an example, for 8 people. If one person drops out, you will be required to pay the full amount for the minimum of 8 people.

Farm Adventure never merges groups, so if you are a group of for example, 10, we would not put you with another group of say 15.

We allocate an instructor exclusively to your group for the duration of your activities. You may have two or more instructors if you are a particularly big group, but our team will let you know this on the day of your visit.

There may also be other groups on site at the same time as you, but they will be with their own instructor and you won’t be doing activities together. You may see them doing the activities and they may see you, but no joining of groups takes place.

You can call us, you can email us, or you can fill in a contact form on our website!

We will always aim to get back to you within 24 hours, but please be kind, as sometimes we're super busy, and can be playing catch up with all our enquiries!

Absolutely! Always remembering though that the minimum age for being on site and/or taking part in the activities, is 17 and above.

We've had people of all ages come to Farm Adventure over the years!

Please do refer to our Terms & Conditions to understand more about what you and your guests will be doing.

ALL OUR GROUP ACTIVITIES & EXPERIENCES ARE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE AGED 17 OR ABOVE.

ANYONE under the age of 17, is unfortunately not permitted on site. This especially includes anyone under the age of 5 as they are considered more vulnerable. Please see our Terms & Conditions on this.
