Mini Meadows Farm, located just 50 minutes from Birmingham in the charming village of Welford, is gaining a reputation as an “amazing little gem” among families. Set across 12 acres of picturesque countryside, this farm park offers a delightful blend of attractions perfect for a memorable family day out.
Visitors can enjoy close-up animal encounters featuring a variety of friendly creatures, including exotic llamas, alpacas, and rare breeds. For playtime, the farm boasts an exciting outdoor adventure play barn with climbing walls, rope bridges, massive slides, and tunnels. Inside, children can explore a wooden indoor play area with a massive sandpit complete with a boat, beach huts, and deckchairs, providing hours of entertainment regardless of the weather.
This Mother’s Day weekend, Mini Meadows Farm is offering a special treat: mums go free!
