What it’s like
A floating inflatable obstacle course on the farm's lake, with a tyre run and a giant slide to launch you into the water.
You get 55 minutes on the water, scrambling across the inflatable obstacle course, wobbling along the tyre run and finally giving in to the giant slide, which dumps you straight in the lake. It's the kind of session where everyone comes off soaked and slightly out of breath, and that's clearly the point.
It's £22 a ticket and you have to book online in advance to get a slot, arriving half an hour early. That's not pocket change for under an hour, but it's a proper adrenaline session rather than a paddle about. Kids need to be 6 or over, and the supervision rules do a fair bit of work: six to eight year olds need an adult in the water with them, nine to elevens need someone over 14 in with them plus an adult watching from the side, and twelve to fifteens just need an adult keeping an eye on. Sixteen and seventeen year olds can go it alone once signed off.
Come with swimwear already on under your clothes, because the changing rooms are limited and you don't want to be faffing about at the water's edge. There's nowhere to lock away valuables either, just open storage cubes, so leave the phone and watch with whoever's spectating or back in the car. Parking's free on site, and dogs are welcome to come and watch from the side if they behave.
It only runs in the warmer months, May to August, and this one's closed for the 2026 season, reopening in spring 2027. Refreshments are available on site, and The Cow restaurant is right there on the farm if you want a proper meal after everyone's dried off.
