Manor Farm Park & Woodlands is a family farm park set in over 25 acres of countryside at Castle Hill, East Leake, Nottinghamshire, on the borders of Notts, Leics and Derbyshire and just over 10 minutes from the M1. Over 20 types of animals live at the farm, including alpacas, deer, donkeys, goats, Highland cattle, llamas, pigs, ponies, reindeer and wallabies, plus a daily schedule of animal activities - small animal petting, falconry flying demonstrations (Wednesday to Sunday, weather permitting), snake feeding and donkey grooming at weekends and during school holidays.
The site also boasts Nottinghamshire's largest indoor adventure play centre, with a pirate ship, spooky castle, pedal karts, three huge slides and a dedicated under-4s area. Outdoors there are three playgrounds (including a new accessible play park), The World of Dinosaur Roar! Discovery Trail with life-size dinosaur models in the woodland, a seasonal maize maze (August to October) and a lakeside walkway.
Food and drink are available at Antlers Bistro and the Laughing Donkey Cafe, with indoor and outdoor picnic benches, a gift shop and free parking. Pathways are suitable for pushchair access and the majority are wheelchair-friendly.
Maize maze usually open August to October. Seasonal events include Summer FoamFest, Circus Spectacular, September SpudFest and PumpkinFest.
