Wonderful day out at Walby Farm Park
For most mothers with young children, Mother’s Day isn’t always the most relaxing! Little children don’t always understand the concept of relaxation so Mother’s Day can require planning activities which will keep little adventurers occupied on this special day. Walby Farm Park understands this and so on the 9th and 10th of March, they are treating all mothers to free entry when accompanied by a paying child/child or with a valid Annual Pass. Wrap up your kids in John Norris' children's range, and simply arrive on the day with your pre-booked accompanying child/children ready to explore all the farm life activities. If mum already holds an Annual Pass, visiting on Mother’s Day grants her a FREE Adult Day Pass to bring a friend, valid until June 19th, 2024 (excluding Easter Eggstravaganza 2024). This outing offers the ideal Lake District activity for enjoying quality time with younger children on such a special day.
Spa Serenity
Out of all Lake District activities, a Spa Day is one of the most luxurious.

Delight in 3 hours of spa access, available either from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm or 1 pm to 4 pm, where you can enjoy a range of facilities including an outdoor hydrotherapy pool, salt steam room, and more.
