- Polly FRetford, United Kingdom14 contributionsFantasticAbsolutely a must do activity with friends. Alex was the best instructor. We had so much fun even in the rain! We had a hot lunch (definitely book lunch, don’t miss out on that treat!) Our group had varying levels of ability but everyone took part in something or everything! A great day for everyone.Great, soggy ground not soggy spirits a great fun group our pleasureWritten November 7, 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited November 2023Traveled with friendsWritten November 6, 2023
- Becky HStratford-upon-Avon, United Kingdom66 contributionsCan’t fault the experience. First class!My partner and I went to The Tournament Ground as I had booked him a tractor driving experience for Christmas. The guy who met us there and took him out in the tractor, Alex, was absolutely lovely. My other half had an amazing time and loved every second. We are going to go back to do a combine harvester experience in the summer. Can’t wait!Excellent to hear, we love teaching the skillsWritten January 20, 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited January 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten January 15, 2024
- haleyliuNottingham, United Kingdom10 contributionsTractor Ploughing ExperienceI surprised my partner with the 4 hour tractor ploughing experience for his 30th birthday and it was everything that he dreamed of! Ian was incredibly knowledgable about all things tractors and my partner was ecstatic that he was able to both try cultivating and ploughing as well as changing over the pieces of machinery. Considering it’s been over a day now and he’s still buzzing over the experience, I would highly recommend it to anybody who loves tractors.Great, glad it was enjoyableWritten May 4, 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited April 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten April 22, 2024
- Mack46831 contributionsGreat experienceWe did both the combine and tractor taster experiences. A fantastic time, the instructor's were both knowledgeable and patient with both of us. Even though it is run on a time scale neither us felt rushed.

- lincolnshire_hardys82 contributionsJust the Best DayFrom start to finish the day was excellent, we did Farmers Olympics followed by some axe throwing and combat archery. The team was helpful and friendly and worked hard to ensure everyone was engaged and having fun. Without doubt the best team day I've doneThank you for the great review, please tell all your friends!!

- Traveler226203 contributionsThe only place in the country where you can plough a field!Excellent and informative session ploughing the tour ground! The session started with the basics in tractor control and preparing the ground for the plough, then reversing a two tier trailer, tricky! Before then engaging the full power of the tractor up and down in as straight a line as possible. Not easy but satisfying!Thank you for the great review, pleased you enjoyed it :-) Hope to see you againWritten August 12, 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited August 2024Traveled soloWritten August 12, 2024
- Ryan R4 contributionsBrilliant ExperienceWe had a brilliant day here. We did farmer olympics, air rifles, Archery and cross bow shooting. There was 11 of us and everyone of us had a great time and are already looking at coming back to try some other stuff. Highly recommend all the activities we did. Farmer olympics was something different aswell. Also recommend getting the food included as we had our moneys worth in drinks alone. Lastly having the dogs there made it even better as we are all mad dog people. Thanks again to the the guys that looked after us!A great fun bunch our pleasure to be involvedWritten September 11, 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited September 2024Traveled with friendsWritten September 3, 2024

A group of 7 of us spent nearly 4 hours here today. We had a fantastic time, and really enjoyed the whole experience. Staff were brilliant, really friendly, very knowledgable, patient!!! and very safety conscious.
We had bought each other several gift vouchers for Xmas and birthdays with the aim of having a fun day out. All 7 of us did the warrior experience, so doing archery, rifle shooting & axe throwing. Three of our group then each did the tractor driving experience, which again they thoroughly enjoyed.
We all said how brilliant it had been, and would highly recommend this as a great activity experience for friends, and families. I have purchased a family ticket for my nieces & nephews to go as their Xmas present. I also bought this as a wedding present for friends, which they thoroughly enjoyed!
This is definitely a local business that we would encourage anyone to try if you’re looking for something different to do.

Excellent day out. I did the warrior experience (axe & knife throwing, archery & crossbow) great fun and very reasonably priced. Good activity for a fun day out with friends and family. The instructor was amazing, friendly and funny. I would go again and recommend to others. Thank you for an amazing experience, thank you

My children aged 8 and 13 came here as a part of a group, since I have picked them up all they have done is say how much fun it was! They did combat archery, bush craft and shooting.
My daughter had to be carried to the car as she was soaked from top to bottom and couldn’t get her trainers back on! She loved it 😀 (wellies next time)
The staff are very professional friendly and helpful we will definitely be visiting as a family next time. Thank you for a great experience much appreciated

I did the combine harvester experience, having been fascinated by them since I was seven years old.
I had a wonderful experience, the young man who was with me guiding me was so friendly and really knew his stuff. I came away buzzing.
I wouldn’t recommend this experience to anyone who has an interest in these machines or farm machinery in general.

Don't expect too much from the facilities. We visited and the toilets were not working because there was no water because there was no petrol in the generator. There seemed no urgency to resolve this, just excuses.
As the warnings were "wash your hands" to protect against corona virus the basic hygiene was left to a shared hand gel!
All events are outside, for obvious reasons and subject to decent weather conditions. It's an exposed site with cross wind so wrap up and wear sturdy footwear, some of the pathways are missing and the site was quite boggy when we visited.
Overall the experience was acceptable.
The instructor, Alex, is helpful but totally chilled out and a little too laid back in my opinion and distracted by his in-tow dog. We were left to exit the site without supervision and able to handle other equipment laying around the site, throwing axes in particular. Maybe not what I'd expected

I enjoyed every minute of my experience, the young man(unfortunately forgot to ask his name) was extremely polite and gave me a detailed insight into what takes place when driving a Combine Harvester.
I also had a full hands on driving experience going through all the motions involved in combining.
Thank you :)

Thank you so much guys we will be back

We did the combine experience for the hour. Money well spent! Very educational. Will be back for the tractor one at some point too! Both the guys were really helpful, they’d answer any questions and you were made to feel comfortable. They were friendly and chatty!👍🏻

We booked the 2 hour Zombie Apocalypse experience had a great fun. The time was divided between knife & axe throwing, air rifle and crossbow shooting. The instructor was very patient, knowledgeable and full of great advice to make the experience even more accessible to all. He had some great techniques that were easy to follow that made even the youngest of our group like they could do the activities successfully. Great time had by all!
