Ernespie may be a working farm, but there’s always time for fun. Our Outdoor Play area is a magical spot for kids, open from April to October, where adventure awaits around every corner. There’s plenty to keep them busy, pedal karts, giant bouncy pillows (one for toddlers, one for bigger kids, and yes, grownups are welcome too!), a Cresta slide, woodland walks, and a retired combine harvester that now lives its best life as a climbing frame and slide. Still got energy? There’s more!  A zip wire, sandpit with buckets, spades, a digger, and another little slide to explore. But here’s the challenge: can you find the secret play frame hidden in the woods, or will you give up and head straight for the café?
