February Half Term is a tricky one – we’re still in the midst of winter and so finding weatherproof activities for the family can sometimes be a challenge. Farrington’s are known for their seasonal events and for February Half Term, they’re hosting a skating experience minus the chill factor!
From Saturday 16th until Sunday 24th February the Farm Shop, Café and Playbarn will have an all-weather synthetic skating rink open under the cover of their barn. Unlike a traditional ice rink, a synthetic rink is not cold or wet, but you can still have all the fun of gliding and sliding!
A synthetic rink is also more environmentally friendly, because it doesn’t require great amounts of power to keep it frozen. Plus synthetic ‘ice’ is a more forgiving surface than real ice and younger children soon find their feet – or there’s always the skate aid penguins!
Farrington’s also have an indoor soft play with their Cowtastic Playbarn. During the week of skating, you can get a child’s Dual Entry Ticket for both a session of skating and indoor soft play for only £8.95, or you can just skate for £5.95 (minimum age 3, children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult when skating).
All tickets need to be booked in advance, so visit www.farringtons.co.uk for full details of Family Skating Fun and how to book. Or, find the event on Facebook by searching Cowtastic Farm Park and Playbarn.
