What travellers are saying
- Snakey77Northants28 contributionsWe booked a session on a Friday when it was £5 after 3.30pm. Amazing value as it was open until 8. Lots to do and the staff were amazing! So friendly and lovely to see. I took my 2 youngest (7 and 3) and they loved feeding the animals, seeing the pigs and loving the indoor play area.
A lot to do and a nice venue. The team have worked hard to provide an affordable experience.Written 27 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The coordination between the songs played aand fireworks wasn't in sync like last year. Furthermore the fun was heavily dented by the rain and muddy conditions. The food stalls were excellent however no proper organisation or queue formation was in order.Written 6 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- kfortnumMarket Harborough, UK70 contributionsPLEASE GIVE THIS PLACE FUNDING AND KEEP IT RUNNING! The Drifters show - amazing show. Lovely theatreThe theatre itself is fab, not too large but comfortably cosy. The theatre has comfortable seats and there would be a good view no matter which seats you booked. I rang the evening before to book last minute tickets for the vet next evening, they helped me pay over the phone, quickly and easily. Fabulous local theatre! Only fault, not enough ladies toilets!

The two wall gardens are a delight, containing many mature herbaceous plants which shone a colour pallet even in late summer. I liked the way they plant flowers in the veg beds to confuse pests. The roses in the rose garden were finished and the ornamental "Orpheus" pond broken from a landslide.
We'll return another day to see what the house looks like inside ...Written 6 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- michelles662016Leicestershire, UK6 contributionsWe initially stopped at Geddington, just because we were on the look out for a village cafe with outside seating.Which we found there.
We then decided to view the Eleanor cross. It was there that we met the very knowledgeable and enthusiastic church guide Kam, who was kind enough to share his extensive knowledge of Geddington church with us. We had passed by Geddington church on the way to the historic houses in the area, but never realized that the church was such a gem and of national historic importance. It's Saxon age was a surprise, as were the with Saxon architectural features.It was also redesigned by the emanate Victorian architects of the day, but it's main draw is the many British kings and queens who walked though the wooden 11th century church door during the past. There is also a connection to the gun power plot as members of the Tresham family who lived at that time have memorials inside the church building.Even the church yard is of national historic important being the site of a royal lodge and with such features as the Saxon sun dial and the crusader oath marks on the masonry on the outside church walls. If you enjoy British history it really is worth a visit.Written 11 October 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It seems The Yards is being revamped and even though the weather was not the best the place looked vibrant, clean and colourful.
The pub has been turned into a number of retail outlets and a new food area being planned for the outside!Written 15 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Tucked away in a tiny village church, they take your breath away. They are a wonderful “story book” of the Montagu family once one of the most important and powerful in the land. The restoration of these stunning works has made them pristine so that the beauty of the work can be fully appreciated. Add to this that it’s free to go in and a friendly knowledgeable guide is around on open days, you have a great excursion.

It is worth noting that the car park is very small (but free) and there are no toilets on site.Written 7 February 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
