With one pillow just for under fives and one for older children everyone can join in the fun at their own pace! Children will love seeing how high they can bounce. It’s great exercise and much more entertaining than a trampoline. Please note socks are required to play on the pillows and they cannot be used when wet.

If you thought having a car full of sand and buckets and spades was just for beach holidays, think again. Mead Open Farm’s sand and water play area – called Shaggy’s Cove – offers a taste of desert island beach not far from land-locked Leighton Buzzard. Children love to dig and build in sand, and when you add water to the mix, it’s the perfect recipe for hours of entertainment! Pirate-themed Shaggy’s Cove features a water pump, bamboo channels for water to pour down, buckets on a pulley and lots and lots of sand. We provide buckets and spades – you provide the creativity!

Dig, build and play! Digger Village is a fantastic child-friendly construction site for you to discover on your day out!

With buckets and spades to build sandcastles with too, it’s just like being at the beach!
