When they arrived the farm house and surrounding barns were derelict. They have added acres of outdoor adventure play, indoor play areas including two soft play barns. Bocketts Farm park offers schools visits with tours of the working farm and small animal encounters, as well as a kitchen garden, shop and tearooms.
