What visitors say
What a fantastic find! A collection of old and varied buildings set in lovely grounds. At various exhibits there were friendly staff members ready and willing to engage in conversation to explain the exhibits. Each exhibit has a legend board to explain the history and rescue involved. I spent 4hrs there and ran out of time. Nice picnic area. Free children entrance with an adult. I was on my own and they accept Blue Light cards. The working windmill was my best bit. Free parking.

Sunday visit with medieval event. Took our 2.1/2 yr old granddaughter. What a lovely few hours, the weather stayed good which helps. So many buildings to explore, we enjoyed a chat with the guide by the telephone box collection. The windmill was a special favourite, another lovely guide on that too. Had a bite to eat and drink in the cafe, superb food, great service and no delays, top marks here for us. The whole site is so interesting and pleasant. A picnic in the meadows would be nice. We liked the pre-fab house and the lady inside. The miniature train ride at £1 per person was lovely, again the guides so friendly. Bought a few plants. Came here many many years ago but there’s so much more here now. Good sized car park. Really enjoyed our visit and found all volunteers/staff so friendly and warm. We will be back. We bought out tickets online and saved about 10%.

Had a wonderful time with my border terrier rescue dog yesterday. Loved it so much we got a season pass.. he loved the stables best of all. My particular favourite was the showmans caravan and the windmill. Can't wait to visit again. Thank you so much

Very interesting collection of historic buildings and not forgetting phone boxes. Good to see the fires being used in the houses to demonstrate different styles of cooking!New director running things now and a far better presentation now even a small funfair for young children
