The Village at Barleylands, Essex

With its farm park and village, Essex-based Barleylands makes for a great day out the whole family can enjoy.

We specialise in offering hands-on experiences for children of all ages, giving them an opportunity to learn outside the classroom and experience the many facets of everyday farming.

However, we don’t forget about parents either. Barleylands also plays host to ‘The Village’ – a unique retail experience where you can shop for local handicrafts or attend a skills workshop. There’s numerous food and drink options for much-needed sustenance too.

So, why not make plans to visit Barleylands farm park and craft village – Essex doesn’t have another attraction like it.
