Testimonials

Anne 

A sincere and huge thank you for a fantastic event on Saturday. I’ve had endless feedback from our attendees, particularly the families who mentioned that their children absolutely loved the day, all of whom can’t wait to return. I appreciate how much effort you and your team put into making this work for us, the little picnic tables, the activities, the exclusive use of a dam and the crazy golf, the accommodating of the laser clay pigeon shooting and the drinks you provided on the field, the delicious eats on arrival, the continuous supply of tea, coffee and drinks and your delightful staff who all went out of their way to provide us with a seamless day. A special thank you to Nick (on-site Chef), for his delicious and very popular spread.

Once again, a massive thank you; as the organiser, seeing the results of one’s efforts is always rewarding.

Ahsan – Oxford 54th Beavers

We recently visited Bibury trout farm with our Beaver group. We booked in at their educational centre and had the most amazing time. From teaching the Beavers how to fish, then cleaning their fresh catches to a masterclass by their resident Chef on marinating and coming the trouts. I can’t recommend the trip highly enough, the staff were amazing and kind, the venue is perfect. And many of the children who had emphatically told me before the trip that they don’t like fish, went back for seconds. 

A truly memorable day.
