Willow Farm Village gears up for Summer Spectacular
Willows Farm Village near St Albans, is gearing up for this year’s Summer Spectacular event, boasting plenty to keep children busy from 18th July until the 6th of September.
Sheep racing at Willow Farm
Willows’ farmer Andrew Wolfe has planted an A-maize-ing Maze – grown completely from maize. Traditional sports day races, including egg and spoon and sack races, with certificates for all children who take part will satisfy their competitive edge.
For those who prefer storytime and theatre then check out the Summer Panto which takes place in Woolly’s Showtime Theatre. This year there will be a new show and the popular Sing-a-long-a Woolly sessions which see Farm Village mascot Woolly Willow the Sheep leading children in well-known nursery rhymes.
There is also a farmyard and animals to see and explore and Woolly’s Workout agility play trail to burn off energy on. If the weather is wet the indoor play barn and play areas will continue to keep kids happy.
Farmer at Willows, Andrew Wolfe said: “The nice spring weather we have had has allowed the maize maze to grow really well this year – making it harder than ever and even more fun to find your way around!
“Tristan, our Runaway Tractor, helped me with the ploughing and planting of the maize this year but he is rather forgetful and managed to misplace lots of his things in the field. Visitors can help search for Tristan’s lost belongings and fill in a form as they find their way through the maze. We will draw a winner from the completed forms to win a £100 Farm Shop voucher.
“Farms are wonderful in the warm summer months. There is plenty of space to run around, and the animals are all very relaxed and enjoy meeting the children every day. Now is also a great time to come back to the farm and visit the baby animals from the spring – children will be amazed at how much they have grown!”
The Summer Panto shows are scheduled to take place in Woolly’s Showtime Theatre at 11am and 4:15pm daily. Sing-a-long-a Woolly takes place in the sheep show stand at 12:45pm and 2:45pm daily with summer sports day races at 3pm each day.
