The magical walk took around 1.5 hours with play areas indoor and outdoor for the children to enjoy too! This is fully accessible so great for wheelchairs & pushchairs.

You get to walk into the animal barn on your way round where you can see, donkeys, goats, sheep and guinea pigs.

There is an indoor light show where you will find dancers, this is varied times so ask when you get there if you would like to be pointed in the right direction. Also inside you will find a play area with a slide and hidey holes, another great addition!

🎤 Daria Kulesh Trio in Stage 2 at The Stables, Milton Keynes
Time: 20:45
🎶 ABOUT
Her debut release Eternal Child was described as “phenomenal” and her second album Long Lost Home has enjoyed rave reviews and multiple awards, including LCM Album of the Year. Her third offering Earthly Delights was named "one of the year's finest albums" by Folk Radio UK, and her latest studio release EVE is “a terrific collection from the heart that reminds what a singular talent she is”, according to FATEA Magazine.
Daria has toured extensively in the UK and Europe, sharing stories and songs that are deeply personal but feel universal and timeless. Every performance is an "emotional, compelling and uplifting experience", leaving the audiences "completely spellbound". Born in Russia but based in the UK for the last 15 years, she fearlessly explores her heritage and turbulent family history in Ingushetia (North Caucasus) with songs that "aren't just sung, but lived" (FATEA).
