Lisa W A gem of a place, not too over commercialised, feels very authentic. Enjoyed the Halloween theme and kids loved the hay barn and fantastic face painting! Can’t wait to return again!

Andy Reynolds A unique experience which makes you feel incredibly lucky and special. It isn’t cheap (to say the least) but it is wonderful from start to finish! We went the whole hog and dressed up in formal attire which made the whole day seem really special (most people did the same). We were lucky to be with friends who bought afternoon tea and dinner during the (90 minute) interval which just added to the occasion! If you have an opportunity to go then I would encourage you to go for it. A fabulous experience.

Jonathan Boatwright We recently hosted a birthday party here and I couldnt sing their praises enough. What a wonderful place with such kind and helpful staff. Everyone here was so helpful, the weather wasnt great and all the staff pitched in helping us move things from the cars, set up gazebos and get everything ready. In terms of planning they were so flexible and couldnt do enough to get things just how we wanted them. The kids had the best time, its a great venue with a great mix of engines and beautiful scenery to ride the trains through. The birthday boy even got a chance to drive one of the trains which absolutely made his day. Thanks!

Sarah I took my nephews here (6 and 9) and they both had a really good time. We came on a very cold day and it was super empty which was even better as they had pretty much the whole play areas to themselves! There’s lots to do in the outside play area (obstacle course, mini pedal go karts, climbing areas, trampolines, zip wire, jumping pillow, and ball games) and they were entertained for ages in the indoor play area too. The ticket prices are reasonable.

Sian Jasmine OLeary Well worth the short walk up from Lewes centre (about 30 mins) for the golden hour sunset views of the North and South Downs. Easy for kids too if theyre moaners like mine.
