Willows Activity Farm in St. Albans is thrilled to be opening a brand new, one of a kind, Peter Rabbit Adventure Playground on 2nd April 2016.

The new area features activities themed around the world-famous and much-loved stars of the animated CBeebies series, including Peter Rabbit Secret Treehouse, built around a 100 year old ash tree, and Benjamin Bunny Treetop Adventures, where children can climb and play.

Find acres of adventure based on your favourite characters including Mrs Tiggy-winkle Kitchen, Jemima Puddle-duck Coop and Jeremy Fisher Music Pond.

Visitors can spend time finding their way through the Garden Maze and exploring the Mr. McGregor Shed before enjoying a delicious lunch at the Peter Rabbit Burrow Cafe.

Peter Rabbit and Lily Bobtail will be appearing in live shows in the Peter Rabbit theatre with daily meet and greet sessions with Peter.

The Peter Rabbit Adventure Playground is part of a full family fun day out at Willows Activity Farm including farmyard animals, Tristan the Runaway Tractor, funfair rides, adventure play with all-weather indoor play too. Located in London Colney, St Albans, just off junction 22 of the M25, free car parking.

This looks like a fabulous place to take young children and if I am ever up around that way I’d love to take my two for a wonderful day out.

Ben & Holly Magical Playground Playsets are cute little playground rides, each set upon a leaf, that connect up together to form one large playground. You can get a slide, swings or roundabout. We were sent two of the playground sets to try out.

Each set comes with the playground ride and a Holly figure. The two sets easily clicked together with a connecting bit on each leaf. The playsets are made of a strong durable plastic and the smaller parts on top are made from a more rubberised flexible plastic to ensure they won’t break.

Each set has a play ride and a toadstool to add detail. The roundabout consists of three leafy seats with two little prongs which fit into small holes in the bottom of the figures feet, although this was a little fiddly to do. You can then spin the roundabout around so the figures can enjoy the ride.

There are two swings and the figures just slot in the seats and if you push them down enough their feet go under a bar that holds them securely and then you can swing them backwards and forwards.

My two both loved playing with these and have always had a soft spot for Ben & Holly as we have books and dvd’s of the series. Mister B loves little characters and as well as taking the Holly figures to the park they also went for a ride on his tractors! Miss M enjoyed them although she is at the older end of the spectrum. I’d say these are best suited for 3-6 year olds and would make a great addition to any other figure playsets they may have.
