The Play Barn Cafe and the Craft Village Cafe are currently closed for refurbishment (exciting plans to be announced soon!). From 2nd January 2016 there will be a mobile catering unit in the Craft Village offering snacks and drinks. Visitors are more than welcome to bring their own food during this period. We are very sorry for the inconvenience. The Play Barn itself in the Farm Park is open for fun.

Barleylands is the perfect all weather, best large attraction in Essex! As well as the cutest and friendiest animals in the Farm Park, we have fun packed indoor and outdoor adventure play areas - race down slides, scale the playframe, whizz on the zip wire and bounce on the huge jumping pillow. Then journey out to the crop fields on the bumpy tractor & trailer ride, join in animal activities and explore the Discovery Centre. Plus explore the South East's largest display collection of reptiles in the Reptile House. There's so much to do!
