Outdoor Play & Farm Animal Experience
Our new outdoor play and farm animal experience is now open for visitors!
Located near Lunan Bay on the beautiful Angus coastal route, Hay & Play is a new outdoor play area and family-friendly animal experience that offers fantastic farm frolics and family fun for all.
Playpark for Kids
Surrounded by views across the beautiful Scottish countryside, there are outdoor climbing frames, swings, slides and games aplenty — and our indoor/outdoor seating areas are within sight of the whole play area, so adults can take a break and enjoy a tea/coffee or a picnic while they wait.
• Climbing Frame
• Wooden Playground with Slide and Swings
• Hay Bale Big Slide
• Play Car and Plane
• Toy Coupé Car Area
• Outdoor Games
Meet the Farm Animals
The fun doesn't stop there too — we've got an array of animal pals who are eager to meet you! Everything from marvellous mini cashmere goats, to amazing alpacas, to beautiful Scottish Highland cows, and more! For kids (and grown-ups!) who love animals, there's no better afternoon out!
Feed the Animals
Our animals are still getting settled in, so we're only offering goat feeding times at the moment — but watch this space! Goat food can be purchased from the Larder.
