The Enchanted Forest
A magical woodland that comes alive with play and adventure
Enjoy interactive play, activities, games and adventure playgrounds hidden around every corner, set amongst beautiful natural surroundings. Open all year round, the forest evolves throughout the year to reflect the magic of the season, so each visit is extra special.
Explore outdoor woodland playgrounds
Hidden in the forest are five large adventure playgrounds each with their own theme, just waiting to be discovered:
Whether it's whizzing on zipwires, creating stories through role play or scaling treehouses, the forest has a playground your child will love.
Plus, loads more smaller play areas and equipment - offering hours of outdoor fun and adventure for the whole family.
A forest that comes to life
Discover almost a mile of forest brimming with magical things to do and see - watch little faces light up as they interact with whimsical houses, animated characters and playful surprises. Don't forget to wave as the Flying Stocksman passes by!
Continue your journey through the forest and you'll find activities to keep the kids entertained all day long.
Get creative as you play xylophones, drums and more at The Musical Garden, before challenging yourself to complete a mission at the Jewel Heist. In the warmer weather, you can set sail on Buccaneer Boats to explore our beautiful lake.
Seasonal magic all year round
As the seasons change, so does the Enchanted Forest. Throughout the year, the forest hosts amazing additional seasonal events and activities.
Just a few of our seasonal activities that call the forest home are:
- Easter: Eggstra-ordinary egg hunt
- Spring: Live action characters from your favourite storybook
- Halloween: Spooky live action Woodland Witches
- Christmas: Dazzling Winter Illuminations
Return to the forest time and time again for a new adventure each visit.
Beautiful Yorkshire woodland
Immerse yourself in stunning natural surroundings, enjoying the sounds and sights of nature while the kids run and play in the fresh air.
Many plants and creatures call this ancient woodland home - on your way round keep an eye out for birds, insects, frogs, wildflowers and more. Visit at spring to see the forest burst with colour as thousands of native bluebells flower.
Eat and drink in the forest
Refuel and refresh at our adventure cabins dotted throughout the forest, serving snacks, light bites and refreshments. In summer, grab an ice cream or cold drink to cool off, or warm up in the colder months with a hot chocolate, hot drink or toasted marshmallows.
