What it’s like
East Leake - Manor Farm Park and Woodlands animals and playbarn. Off-peak online from £8.95; book ahead for busy days.
Manor Farm Park and Woodlands in East Leake is a proper farm day out - animals, falconry, donkey grooming at weekends and holidays, and the World of Dinosaur Roar woodland trail. Off-peak online tickets are £8.95 adult/child (ages 2-16); gate is dearer. Under-2s from £4.34 online. Babes in arms free. Essential Companions with Access Card match the under-2 band. Daily 10am-5pm; closed 25 Dec to 1 Jan.
Antlers Bistro and the Laughing Donkey Cafe cover food; picnics OK on benches and in the indoor picnic area, not in the cafes. Free parking. Pushchair-friendly paths mostly, though Fort Adventure is over grass and the falconry/owl path has a steep bit. Only guide dogs on site.
Indoor playbarn (Jenny and Jacks) is on site as wet-weather backup - socks for the slides - but this listing is farm-primary, not a soft-play venue. Birthday parties published from £19.95 per child (min 12, max 22 kids). Book online for busy weekends and holidays - they sell out.
