This official collection of the Welsh Guards regiment was started by Curator Stan Evans in 1995 and offers education, enlightenment, information and hands on activities for all ages to enjoy. With a complete Barrack Room from the 50’s and 60’s an actual Sentry Box from Buckingham Palace and a rebuilt cell from the Guards Depot at Caterham dating back to 1877, visitors are encouraged to wear authentic public duties home service clothing (Bearskin and Tunic) and visit exhibitions from the great wars and more recently Iraq and Afghanistan.

a month agoGreat day out for the kids. Lots of things to do, theres an outside park and obstacle course, indoor soft play area with sandpit and wooden climbing structure, indoor bouncy castle with ride on tractors and death drop slide. There is also animals that you can feed and a tractor trailer ride to do. Food and drinks are available from their cafe and everything is easy accessible with ramps instead of steps.

2 months agoA must place to visit with the kids. So much to do indoors and out. Well worth the money for the service they provide. My 18 month old loves it. We will be returning often as my boys grow.

5 months agoBrilliant place to go for the whole family. So much entertainment for children you would struggle fitting everything in. Also a museum. Petting zoo. Rides. Loads of soft play and interactive science area. You will want to return.

6 months agoReally good Farm Park. Signage could be better. Lovely staff. Relatively small farm park, probably better for young children up to 6ish yrs. Home to Welsh guards museum and a Second World War trenches set up. The indoor areas; bouncy castle (unsupervised), basic baby soft play areas, ride on tractors all around cafe tables. In the sheep barn; soft play with brick building area, sand and water play, archaeological dig, slides. Other wee entertainment bits like an Alice in wonderland theme walk through scenes…bit creepy imo but there for Easter as far as I could tell. Rabbits, Guinea pigs, tortoises, sheep, goats, pigs. Music room and a sort of science room which our toddler didn’t engage with much - better for the older children with those interests. Tractor trailer ride, barrel train all running v smoothly! Outside assault course, play park, diggers x2 (£1), electric tractors (£1), shed/small house play bits, space hopper field, Iron Age roundhouse, pig racing, staff put on a fun rabbit (fancy dress) race for entertainment. We didn’t use the cafe much but we did get a hot chocolate, cake and ice creams - service was ok. Didn’t really want to stay or go back for that tbh. The staff with the tractor rides and the animals were lovely, couldn’t have been happier to help and chat - working hard! Found the layout a bit confusing and all seemed a bit ‘add on’, we were given a map on arrival which helped to a degree but in reality we went where we could around other people rather than studying the map. You’re sent through the museum to get in which is a long hallway in effect into the small animal handling area - an old cow shed with multiple doors off to various things but you couldn’t really choose (it wasn’t a v busy afternoon as it was wet) and just had to go where you could with a buggy. Happy with pricing for one adult, concession and 2 x under 2. Might get pricey with older kids. Seemed like a good shop at reception but you have to walk through it to get out (as always)!

5 months agoWe can't get enough of Park Hall for our 2 pre-school children! We have a yearly membership which we have taken full advantage of. We can pop in for a quick soft-play or plan a full day here with a picnic. They do some wonderful themed events throughout the year too to keep the kids interested.
