3 Easy Ways to Save This Summer

Summer Saver Prices (25th June – 1st September)

Thanks to this year's government VAT cut for children's attractions, Farm, Combi and Play Barn tickets are all reduced for both adults and children throughout the summer. Just book on the Summer Saver calendar to see the discounted price for your visit day.

Summer Club Membership - £33 per child / £27 per adult

Unlimited visits to the Farm and Play Barn from 25th June right through to 1st September, for roughly the price of just two normal Combi visits. Handy tip: the adult membership isn't named to one person, so you can hand it to Nan, Grandad or whoever's on childcare duty that day. Join the Summer Club here.

Farm & Play Barn All-Dayer - £13.50 per person

A supercharged Combi ticket for unlimited time at both the Farm and the Play Barn all day (rather than the usual 2-hour play session) — come and go as you please. Available in limited numbers during the first two weeks of the summer holidays, and possibly extended if popular. Check the calendar for All-Dayer dates.

In short: going once or twice? Book on the Summer Saver calendar. Visiting loads over the holidays? The Summer Club membership pays for itself fast. Want a full, relaxed day with no clock-watching? Grab an All-Dayer ticket if you can catch one.

"Ash End House Farm is such a wonderful place for anyone of any age to visit. Have been to the farm on several occasions and each and every time, I look forward to when I can return again. Staff are so friendly, approachable and helpful. Very informative on when extra activities are on, which are included in the entry price, such as collecting an egg, sitting on a pony…so many to list. Lots to do there, as well as feeding the animals, who all feel like part of the family. They clearly are very loved and cared for. Really enjoyed the time playing on the gokart style tractors, after we did the tractor ride. Had a lovely lunch and a cup of tea in the cafe. So much to see and do, at such great value for money. The Big Play Barn is next door for soft play fun (separate entry) if extra energy needs to be burned off…If you haven’t been yet…then you really must! A great family day out for all the family, with lots of wholesome fun." - Frances B, Google review

Summer FAQs

Do I need to book in advance?
Booking isn't compulsory, but it guarantees your spot on busy days. You're welcome to pay on arrival if you'd rather, and it's rare for them to sell out on a normal day.

What's the difference between a Farm ticket and a Combi ticket?
A Farm ticket covers all the animals and included activities. A Combi ticket adds a 2-hour session at The Big Play Barn next door.

Is the Summer Club membership worth it if we can only visit a couple of times?
If you're only planning one or two trips, it's cheaper to book Combi tickets directly on the Summer Saver calendar. The membership pays off if you're likely to visit three times or more across the summer.

Can grandparents use the Summer Club membership?
Yes — the adult membership isn't tied to a named person, so it can be used by whichever adult is bringing the children that day.

What if the weather's bad?
Ash End is an all-weather attraction with plenty of covered areas, so it's a solid rainy-day option too.
