The Wacky Warren · our family field

For every age, we all play together

Inside the big tent you'll always find the giant craft table, imaginary worlds, puppet theatre, kids stage, baby play area, our own library and a STE(A)M tent, plus a constantly rotating area of sensory play and discovery. Step outside and you might discover circus skills, team games, science experiments or something completely unexpected. Older kids get their own teen tent, run by teens for teens, and grown-ups are expected to get stuck in too, with plenty of sofas when you need to catch your breath.

Everything's included Kids stage Puppet theatre STE(A)M tent Baby play area Teen tent

2027 activities coming soon… The Wacky Warren is never the same twice, with creativity, play and discovery guaranteed.
