We absolutely loved our day at Fairhill adventure gardens! We have 4 young children and the set up was absolutely perfect for them. From the friendly animals and fairy garden walk to the huge sandpit and children's play area. All in all absolutely would come again! Oh and the food + coffee was lovely too! 10/10 experience for families!
