Overall Ratings

Nestled between Leeds, York and Wakefield, Fairburn Ings is an exciting site for family activities and serious wildlife watching. Over the last 60 years it has transitioned from coal face to wild place; an ex-industrial site rich in heritage and an important site for breeding and wintering wildfowl.

Booked a fabulous 1-2-1 coaching session with Leon for my daughter so she could learn the basics before her first ski holiday - cannot recommend Leon and Snozone enough!

I live local but only found out about this Theatre on trip advisor, We booked to see Singing in the Rain as I love musicals and thought we would give it a chance but not expecting much. I booked and paid for the tickets online which was easy and printed them at home. I received a text a couple of days before giving us some very useful information about parking and bar and show times. We found the Theatre with no problem and were impressed with the venue and facilities, they even sold ice cream in tubs in the interval and you could also get a drink from the bar. The show itself was very good, funny, well acted and my husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed it. We will definitely return and looking to book to see Hairspray in April.

A lovely day out, I don't know who enjoyed it more, me or my four year old! We have visited digger land a few times now and each time has been amazing. There is so much for children and adults to do. It's a real family day out where everyone can get involved. The restaurant on site had a good selection of food and is reasonably priced. The gift shop is also very competitive prices and you get a free certificate for your child. There are so many opportunities to take photos as well which is always a bonus!

The kids absolutely loved the party here, staff couldn’t be more helpful and the food portions were very generous! When the party started adults got some ‘me-time’, we disappeared for a coffee for just under an hour until the children were back out to eat. It was the first party I’d been to where this was acceptable/normal for children as young as 7! Even after the party ended our host spent more time with the children who wanted to use their ‘mission reward vouchers’ in The Raid. Overall the party was great value for money in comparison to other venues/activities and the mission reward vouchers are an added bonus.
