Teddy Bear's Picnic at Thorpe Farm Centre

About

Calling All Little Adventurers (and Their Favourite Teddy Bears!)  If your little one is aged 1 to 8, grab your teddies and get ready for a day packed with fun, giggles, and adventure! 

The day is split into two unforgettable parts:

Part 1: Soft Play, Games & Storytime Fun!
Choose from a Morning Session (10:00am) or Afternoon Session (12:30pm)
Enjoy 2 hours of teddy-tastic indoor fun including:

Access to our Soft Play and Party Room
Teddy Bear Arts & Crafts
Teddy-Themed Games & Playtime
30 minutes of magical storytelling with Stephen the Storyteller, a professional children's entertainer with 25 years of experience (your kids will LOVE him!)
Teddy Bear Snack & Drinks Bar to keep your little explorers energised

Bring a cosy blanket for snuggly storytime — and of course, don't forget the most important guest: your child's favourite teddy!

Part 2: Teddy Bear Forest Hunt!
After all that indoor excitement, it's time to take the adventure outside...

Head into our Teddy Bear Forest for a magical bear hunt! ️‍

‍Follow our 1km woodland trail
Search for hidden teddy bears
Answer fun questions
Use your activity sheet to complete the challenge

Then return to the Courtyard to collect your Certificate & Sticker to show off your achievement!

Make a Day of It at Thorpe Farm!
Once your teddy bear adventure is over, there's still so much more to explore:

Adventure Play Park – Zip line, obstacle course, monkey bars, slides & more!
Meet Our Friendly Animals – Say hello to Harriet the baby alpaca, our cheeky pygmy goats, and Daphney & Velma, the smartest pigs in town!
Grab a Bite or a Brew – Our on-site café & restaurant is open 9am–4pm with hot and cold drinks, meals, and treats.
️ Peel House Treasures – Discover quirky gifts, home décor, and vintage finds in our lovely shop.
Farm Shop Goodies – Stock up on local produce, fresh meats, baked goods, and more.
Barn Garden Centre – Pick up a plant or two to brighten your home or garden!

Don't Miss Out – It's Going to Be BEARY Special!
Book your spot now and make summer memories your little ones will treasure forever!
