The gorgeous Kenyon Hall Farm shop has been popping up on my social media for a while, tempting me to make the 30min drive to visit. So, on the last day of the summer holidays, when after just a small trip out, I ventured over to Warrington.
Straight away, when we arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to find a small play area. Sadly, the zip wire wasn’t in use, but there are swings, slides, tyres to climb on, and plenty of seating to eat your purchases from the café.
Inside the farm shop is an Aladdin’s cave of yummy food. I was also pleased to see they actually produce quite a few products them selves to sell in the shop.
They grow lots of their own fruit and vegetables. You can also pick up some homemade jams, chutneys, and cakes. Their bread that’s been freshly baked in the kitchen that morning. Or honey from bee hives on the farm, oil pressed from their oil seed rape and duck eggs from their little flock.
As we visited at the end of the summer, they had started to add an autumn theme to their shop. Their display of handmade decorations for Halloween and material pumpkins looked great.
The café serves breakfast, lunch, and children’s meals, and I also spotted a nice-looking afternoon tea on the menu. Seating for the café is both inside, outside under a covered area, and then in the play area too. So there are plenty of options where to enjoy your food and drinks while also letting your children play.
During the year, Kenyon Hall Farm has plenty of added attractions, including an Easter Egg Hunt, a Maize Maze, a Sunflower Trail, Fruit Picking, Pumpkin Patch and Christmas Festivities.
We visited while their Maize Maze was open, this was a great extra activity to do. This years theme was of knights and princesses. You could take a photo of the map at the start, which showed you where 6 hidden characters were in the maze. There are a few photo opportunities too and the boards with the characters on have been painted beautifully.
The fruit and veg picking is also a nice activity, just check out their website to see which is ready to pick. At different times you can pick strawberries, garden peas, sunflowers, sweetcorn and raspberries.
Kenyon Hall also has 30 years experience of growing and selling plants. Their stock includes flowering plants, herbs, fruit, veg & salad plants, trees, shrubs.
