    Fun inside and out at Hatton Country World

    Our #SummerOf17 Staycation took us a little north of Stratford-upon-Avon, to lovely Hatton Country World for a day of fun, inside and out. Hatton Country World is made up of Hatton Shopping Village, a range of really great little crafts and independent shops and a garden centre, and Hatton Adventure World, the family fun farm.

     

    Great fun, whatever the weather

    We love going to Hatton Country World. We visited the first time when the kids were 4, and now, 5 years later, they’ve loved it every age. It’s one of the only attractions where the inside and outdoors are equally fun for the kids. The outside offers a wonderful selection of games, rides and animal handling, the inside a super play area with 3 of the best slides of any play area we’ve ever seen.

     

    5 years at Hatton Country World

    Today was a grey and drizzly day, so apart from the first half hour, we spent the better part of 3 hours having a blast inside in the play area. But below are some images from other times at Hatton Country World, just to show you what it’s like on a dry day.

    Nipped into @thersc today. This is so impressive… inspired by Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’ 🎭 

If you want to see it for yourself, enter the building through the side entrance on the right across from The Arden, it’s upstairs.
