Willows Activity Farm provides a full day of wholesome fun for families with a particular emphasis on under 8’s. As well as lots of farmyard fun, indoor and outdoor play and a seasonal programme of events, Willows includes the PETER RABBIT Adventure Playground, the first Peter Rabbit themed attraction of its kind in the world. Opened in 2016 and created in partnership with Silvergate Media, the co-producers and global licensing agent of the CGI animated TV series ‘Peter Rabbit’ and Lappset Creative, a leading manufacturer of themed activity attractions and play equipment.

The Peter Rabbit Theatre also hosts daily shows featuring Peter Rabbit, Lily Bobtail and Benjamin Bunny, along with Meet and Greets which are really popular with their young fans.
