Foam & Fun Days at Mini Meadows Farm, Welford

If you’ve got little ones who leap at any excuse for a good soaking, you’re going to want to hear about this one. Mini Meadows Farm in Welford is running Foam & Fun Days every day from 8th to 31st August, with foam parties kicking off at 2pm and packed with bubbles, music and the kind of joyful chaos that only a mountain of foam can bring.

It’s the sort of thing that turns a normal farm visit into a proper summer highlight, and it’s a brilliant way to cool off after a morning spent exploring and meeting the animals. If you’re after more ways to fill the summer holidays without breaking the bank, my weekly what’s on newsletter rounds up the best bits every week so you don’t have to go looking.

The Details

• Running daily from 8th to 31st August, with sessions starting at 2pm
• £3.50 per child
• Add a foam party ticket when you book your farm entry online, or purchase on the day, though this is subject to availability
• Recommended for children aged 3 and up
• Bring a towel and a full change of clothes for afterwards
• Footwear must be worn at all times, and waterproof shoes are a good shout
• Children need to be accompanied by an adult throughout

Because it runs every single day through August, this is an easy one to slot into your plans whenever you happen to be visiting rather than something you need to build your whole day around. Pair it with a wander round to see the animals beforehand, and there’s the Beehive Café on site if you fancy a bite to eat while everyone dries off.

How to Book

You can add your Foam Party ticket when you book farm entry online, or grab one on arrival if there’s availability. Given how popular water play tends to be in the school holidays, I’d book ahead where you can rather than leaving it to chance.

Where: Mini Meadows Farm, Naseby Road, Welford, Northants, NN6 6HZ
When: Daily, 8th–31st August, 2pm
Price: £3.50 per child (farm entry required)

This is a great one to have up your sleeve for those hot, sticky August afternoons when the kids need to burn off energy and cool down at the same time. If you’re planning a full day out, don’t forget to sign up to the Northants Families newsletter for more ideas like this throughout the summer holidays.
