DIY "Little Combi" Party

The Play Barn now offers a Little COMBI Party which is suitable for groups of 8 or more attendees (combined number of paying adults and paying children). It is based on a 2 hour play and party meal session IN THE PLAY BARN at one of their Family Party Tables. It also includes farm tickets for you to self-tour and enjoy all the activities the farm has to offer including the tractor ride, animal feeding, pony-sit-on and more. The time on the farm is in addition to the 2 hour play and party meal session. It's unlimited but we recommend 90 mins to 2 hours.

Duration

4 hours (2 hrs farm + 2 hr play)

Min / Max

8 paying people total

Price

£22.95 child · £11.95 adult

Eating

Family table mid-session

Sorry, no free adults. This party is booked from the Play Barn's party booking portal where you can check availability and get a cost based on your estimated numbers. You pay a deposit of £100 to reserve and then the balance on the day.

Visit the Play Barn Little COMBI booking page

Charging policy

We only charge for the children and adults attending on the day, subject to the minimum; so should your numbers be below the minimum of 10 children (Tour Party), 12 children (Combi Party), 6 children (Just Farm DIY Party), 8 adults/children (Little COMBI Party) then you will still be charged for those minimums.

Babies and older siblings of the party child: for all party types, under 12 months (who are NOT participating in the activities and not eating) are not charged but please make this clear to the guide so they don't include them in the count. If you do wish a child of nearly 12 months to participate and eat then please count them as a paying child, not a baby. Siblings of the party child or relatives that are over 12 can be counted as adults (and part of your free allocation), although again they will be considered non-participating and will not be included in the meal or certain activities. Your booking requires a £100 booking deposit to secure the slot and this is deducted on the day.
