👨👩👧👦 WUB BLOG
My family set off for a wonderful day to this great farm in the Hitchin area. It is FREE entry, you can pick your own strawberries at a cost (depending on availability) with other activities for children and the family to enjoy. Set in the beautiful surrounding countryside. A great family fun, memorable day out for all and not far from Bedfordshire! Plus they have a car boot sale on Saturday's.
❓DO I NEED TO BOOK?
No you don't need to book which is the great thing, you can enjoy a last minute fun day out, but I'd recommend checking there facebook page incase of any updates on times and days ect.
🐕 DOGS
Well-behaved dogs are welcome, but you have to keep them on leads and out of the polytunnels.
🏖 PLAY AREA
The play area and sand pit is FREE to use. Fantastic!
They have a large children’s adventure play area including a zip wire and a haystack. The play area is overlooked from the cafe so you can keep an eye on your little or not so little ones!

There are also some pigs to look at and feed, pig food is available to feed them at a low cost.
