Review of Bury Lane Fun Barn

Overview

Bury Lane Fun Barn is a soft play centre with a farm café, farm shop, and seasonal “pick your own” activities 🌱. We visited with our children (ages 6 & 8) during the summer. The Fun Barn runs timed soft play sessions (which often sell out at weekends/holidays) and also offers monthly SEND sessions.

Easy to find and park 🚗. It can get busy at the start of sessions, but queues move quickly. The venue was kept clean, and staff were friendly and welcoming.

♿ Accessibility & SEND-Friendliness

• Sensory room is included in SEND sessions 🧩.

• On standard visits, access to the sensory room costs extra.
