Cafe Reddish Vale Farm in Stockport

Father Christmas experience... When you book it says no prams. However I'd advise you do bring your pram instead of struggling like me. Didn't even get to see father Christmas as he was so distressed, but had we ignored the rules like everyone else in the group and just brought our pram in we would've been fine! Terrible customer service nowhere near as good as last year, definitely won't be returning next year

Fabulous experience for the children and worth the child entrance fee. Adult entrance is very expensive for a shortbread biscuit and half a cup of mulled wine. Not even a cup of tea option instead! It’s for the children but they can’t go in alone so an expensive family day out despite reasonable child fee. Would be 5* with a reduced adult fee

We had a magical day stepping into the North Pole at Reddish Farm! From making our own special toy 🛠️, baking cookies with Mrs. Claus 🍪, and playing with elves 🎉, roasting marshmallows 🔥 and meeting Santa 🎅, every moment was full of festive fun. The decorations were stunning and truly captured the holiday spirit ✨, though we wished the actors had a little more Christmas cheer to match the magic. Still, it was a day to remember and a beautiful way to celebrate the season! 🎄🎁

Visited yesterday as part of the SEN session, for the most the experience was magical. The lights, the decorations, the elves, the details! Mrs Claus wasn’t very festive or interesting, she struggled to keep anyone’s attention. Seeing Santa was rushed and we were in the room for a total of about 1 minute, which was disappointing as because it was the SEN session I thought the children would be given a chance to warm to Santa, if needed, and get the confidence to speak to him. Then as we were buying our Santa photo, Mrs Claus walked past half dressed in costume! Prompting questions from my son. It was amazing for the most part (96%) just feel like they could make a few tweaks to get it right up there

The North Pole experience was great, will definitely be back next year!

One of the best Christmas experiences! My children loved every minute and truly fed the imagination. Santa was truly beleiveable, no fake beards here.

A wonderful and well thought out Christmas journey. The grandchildren absolutely loved it 🥰

We attended the Christmas experience yesterday and, while there were some notable improvements, I regret to say it didn’t quite live up to the high standards of previous years, which we’ve thoroughly enjoyed in the past. Positives: - The flow between sections has improved, with a much smoother and more organised momentum. - The selection of toys this year is significantly better than in previous years—well done on this! - Overall, the staff were friendly and welcoming, adding a positive vibe to the experience. Negatives: - Mrs Claus: Unfortunately, the new person in this role struggled to hold anyone’s attention and lacked the warmth and charm of the previous lady, who was fantastic. This really affected the magic of the experience. - The mulled wine felt watered down and lacked the festive touch we were hoping for. - Transition from the workshop to the elf’s house: An elderly lady was made to crawl through the small doors, which caused her visible distress and left her in tears due to the pain. This was upsetting to witness and needs rethinking to accommodate all guests. - Santa’s interaction with the children was disappointing. He lacked rapport-building skills, seemed disengaged, and failed to create the magical moment that is so central to the experience. Sadly, this left my children feeling underwhelmed.

We attended Christmas experience. It was absolutely amazing and magical. My kids loved it and so did I.

Great little petting farm in Stockport great for young kids.The children can buy a bucket of carrots to feed the animals and great cafe and a massive outdoors play area for the kids and a play area for toddlers

Magical day. Well worth the money Toddler got to make a toy in the workshop Free gingerbread men. Which he decorated his self , hot chocolate for everyone mulled wine for adults. Staff are fantastic. Visit to Santa. Best Santa I’ve seen. Ho ho ho. And a gift. That was brilliant. All in all. My 2nd year. With the grandson Will definitely come again next year. Well done reddish vale

Today we visited Reddish Vale Farm to attend the North Pole experience, following great experiences at their Easter and Halloweeen events. The decor and attention to detail really brought the magic to life and even the adults were thought of. There were no hidden costs and great value for money.

We went for the Christmas experience. It was hands down the best Christmas activity we have been to in the area. The elves were all so lovely and each area was really well made and looked really great and authentic. I was really surprised that there was no extra costs for anything, which is really rare!! What my child got was amazing for the price. Each area was well planned and it couldn't get too busy which is great. I've been recommending it to everyone. Thank you!!

All the family had a lovely time . This is the 3rd time we have visited and each time they change something about the experience and we will go again it’s wonderful

Very disappointed with my visit to my children’s favourite farm. The Santa experience part was very rushed and impersonal. The elves at the entrance to Santa spoke to the family in front for over 5 minutes and scanned to see who was on the good list or naughty list. Had fun with parents and children. We were last in our group and didn’t get scanned or spoken too for very long. The elf came out to call us and they just rushed us through without chatting and interacting with us. My daughter asked why she wasn’t scanned and is she on the nice list. So went through to Santa and it was like pulling teeth talking to him. My children aren’t shy but he asked closed questions that only had yes/no answers. Got my daughter’s name wrong after asking and I corrected him twice. Weren’t in very long as he wasn’t a warm Santa, didn’t have much presence. It was not a magical experience talking to the big man, it was very awkward. Ssnta was in the first room. Then we went through to get toys and the choice was poor. The toys weren’t age appropriate for over 8 years I didn’t think. My daughter who’s 12 came and I paid for her (as my youngest is 8 so still believes) and there was nothing appropriate for her age. She ended up with a toy age 6+ as the eldest option which she doesn’t even want. Even my 8 yr old (almost 9) was disappointed with the choices and picked something for the sake of it. No cuddly toys as an option which are more universal in age. The games were aimed at younger children. For the price I will stick to the main rival as Cockfields farm is so much better. My children even left saying they prefer Cockfields and that Santa wasn’t friendly. Really disappointing experience which tainted the good things done first. The toy making was good, elf post office is aimed at under 6 yrs I would say. The marshmallows were good. Won’t be coming for Christmas again which is a shame as other events such as Halloween are fun.

Amazing experience. Attention to detail was second to none. My little girl loved every minute of it and hasn't stopped talking about it. Staff were amazing. Decorations were unreal. We will definitely be back next year! Thank you for a brilliant Christmassy experience 👏 ❤️

Really good fun for little ones. We visited with our grandson for the Christmas Polar experience. It was a really well thought out afternoon. Children get to make a cuddly toy in the elves workshop, write a letter to Santa at the post office, decorate gingerbread in Mrs Clause's kitchen, meet real reindeer and make a bag of reindeer before getting to meet Santa himself. Have to say he was a very good Santa - convincing and no fake beard. It really is worth the cost of tickets and better than others we have visited in previous years. A strong 9/10 for us.

We went to the Santa experience here today and it was brilliant, our 3 kids 7, 6 and 1 thought it was wonderful. Well worth the money. We paid etc for the invitation letter which our elves delivered the day before. My eldest is getting to the age where she sees holes in the whole Santa thing. The letter has the official north pole seal on it, so she decided that this was definitely going to be the real Santa and not a fake. The whole experience solidified her belief again. Everything was perfect from arriving at passport control, where the elf on duty seemingly knew all about my children! Highly recommend. We came two years ago too and it was brilliant then but they've really finessed it now and added extra bits like toasting marshmallows.

My 8 and 5 year old absolutely loved the Christmas experience. It was our third year in a row and the little changes and extras this year meant they still had surprises and couldn’t guess what was coming next. They were also incredibly impressed that it was the real Santa yet again!

Terrible customer service, no care or compassion - there are much much better farms don’t waste your money they are just a money making machine they don’t actually care about their customers

We attended the Christmas experience at Reddish Vale Farm…..Amazing!!!! It was literally an experience, with all the sections you go through, my 6 year old loved it….so did I haha 🎅 you might think tickets are a bit pricey but for everything you get it was well worth it. The present from Santa was the best we’ve had (we’ve seen lots of Santa’s and the gifts are always a let down). Will definitely book next year! ⛄️❄️🎄🤶

We visited the Christmas experience and it was amazing. It does seem expensive when you're booking but it is worth it. So much is included and it really is magical. Would definitely recommend and we will be back. We also visit when it is the normal farm and again well worth a visit and the kids love it

Very enjoyable and very well organsied.

It was a brilliant day out with the kids! We loved everything about it—the decorations, the variety of activities, the friendly staff, and the thoughtful gifts. Highly recommend for a fun and memorable experience

Can honestly say it was worth every penny!! The staff went above and beyond. The whole experience was amazing.

The children loved it. Have been here a few times but this was a first for Halloween. Only problem is parking. Maybe only take bookings that allows everyone a parking space as it's difficult when you have children, prams etc

What a wonderful venue. So much for the children (and adults) to do. A lot of hard work went into setting this festival up. Hex and his partner were really good. The rest of the staff were equally amazing. So good with the children always there to help. Thank you Reddish vale farm. Am looking forward to booking for the Christmas celebrations with my family.

This would have been 4 stars if it wasn't for the 🎃 patch. Brilliantly organised, carving station, wheelbarrows + cleaning area, entertainment and of course animals. I don't give 5 stars very often but this place deserves it. Be aware that prices can be quite high. It's 1 pumpkin per ticket.

It was Halloween pumpkin picking, so much for the kids to do, had an absolutely fabulous day.

Fantastic 10/10 experience at Reddish Vale Farm! The staff are so friendly, helpful and efficient! There is SO much to do and see - it’s amazing for any age child as my baby is under 1 and loved every minute of it. Lots of animals to see, activities to do and lovely selection of food and drinks! It’s definitely the best farm I’ve been to so far. We are so happy we came and we will definitely be back soon! Thank you RVF for such an incredible day!

Lovely place to go, parking wasn’t brilliant. The only let down was the pumpkin picking. It was 1 pumpkin per child and it wasn’t a big patch. Food was amazing and feeding the animals aswell.

The girls had a great time. There is so much to do, The rain was not a problem with indoor activities, all covered.

Excellent Halloween 🎃 experience for 3 grandchildren really good. Only complaint is the cost of the little fairground rides! £2.50 a go is extortionate ! They were largely empty! We let our grandson have 1 go. If you charged £1 a go I bet they’d be full and you’re profit would be greater

Took my 2 year old daughter to the Halloween Pumpkin festival at Reddish Vale Farm and it was amazing! The amount of activities that had been put in place was fantastic and my daughter was entertained all afternoon. I thoroughly recommend everyone to attend for Halloween next year!

Went to Halloween festival tonight, very annoyed at being charged £6 each for pumpkins, on top of the ticket price. the website clearly says one pumpkin is included 'per paying child' on the main website and on the booking page, you even highlighted it in bright orange! but interestingly ommitted it on the order confirmation you receive AFTER paying!

Feel quite ripped off after visiting the halloween festival tonight. £50 for a family of 4 to enter with a marshmallow stick each for the kids, and then charged an additional £1.50 for a bucket of carrots and another £12 for 2 pumpkins, one for each of the kids when it very clearly says on the website that a pumpkin is included for each paying child, not good value for money, and falsely advertised. Tried to complain but staff insisted that the pumpkins were not included

We went in a big family group to the Moonlight Pumpkin Picking. It was really good and well work the ticket price. The only gripe we had was that the pumpkins were £6 each and tiny, plus the member of staff of the gate at the Patch was quite rude. Also, by the time the queue had gone down for fresh donuts they had ran out of batter which was disappointing 😞 The kids loved it and the adults enjoyed having drinks at the Reddish Vale Inn 😀 We are looking at booking one of the Christmas events and will definitely be back next Halloween! Whether we buy pumpkins or not next time will depend on the price and size though!

Absolutely great night for the kids an everyone at the moonlight event at reddish vale farm last night. They had amazing entertainment on, fire eating people, people on stilts a band playing an not to forget the lovely animals great night x

We loved our Halloween Evening experience. Really well set up but the band were a little disappointing. Could have been dressed up and more interactive and Halloween themed music. The decorations and picture opportunities were amazing and the fire breathers and stilt walkers were amazing. Would be good to have a meeting point place. I looked after a lost child and almost lost mine. Overall a great experience

What a great time I had with my boys and family! A lot to do with the kids, parks inside and outside are great! Amazing actually. First time picking pumpkins with the kids they loved it. Feeding the animals its a plus! So much fun Place wa well decorated staff very attentive and helpful. Food also good no complain. Everyone had a good time and it's worth the money. We ce back next year again Thank you

I have been coming to reddish vale farm since my 12 year old was little, the farm has improved greatly, we love coming. Although I am appalled how much the Halloween event has sneaked up to, this is becoming unaffordable. Furthermore the farm is overcrowded leaving it not value for money.

Spent 4 hours at spooky halloween, we did lots of things my 2 granddaughters picked a pumpkin each from the pumpkin patch. Adults and children all enjoyed the day. Highly recommended 5*

Great day out Children loved it Well worth the money.

I went to the farm with my family had a lovely time. Animals well looked after and food was lovely. The girls serving food was lovely and polite. Thanks for a great time. Be back soon :)

Brilliant farm with loads to do for kids.

Had a lovely time kids loved it

Even though me and my partner booked the halloween evening experience without realising it was mainly aimed at children, we had the most amazing, wholesome time together. We fed all the animals (which will always be the highlight for my partner), got some gorgeous (CHEAP) food & a cider each, picked our pumpkin and ended the night off with a walk around the trail. Would 100% recommend to anyone with children and would even recommend to couples who just love to spend time with eachother. Only reason for 4 star rating is the wish for more adult aimed events in the future!!! Thanks

Went to the Halloween event on Saturday with my 4 year old niece. Animals were well looked after, lots to do for children, games and potion making tent, food and drinks available to buy, playground, pumpkin picking and carving station. The only thing i would say is the staff on site (not all!!) were incredibly miserable. It was quite annoying actually. The girls who worked in the food van near the play area could have had a personality transplant and one of the girls who was looking after the horses for grooming by the kids was very rude, she saw me and my niece stood there for 5 minutes, didnt even look at us and then started shouting at someone else who works with horses if she should put the coats on the horses now. We had to ask if my niece could brush the ponies and she said “no times up” but we was literally stood there. Overall good!

We went monday 2 adults and a 4 month old, Lovely place and animals well cared for but a terrible place for pumpkin picking, it was £12.50 each adult to get in then you had to pay £6 for 1 pumpkin you get at a supermarket, I thought they would of grown their own so very overpriced in my opinion sadly ☹️ also a nightmare to park! I think a fab place just not for halloween x

Animals were lovely to see It was a bit of a let down that we were asked to pay extra 6£ to take a pumpkin as we thought it was included in our ticket (12.5£/adult) and we only wanted to carve one between 3... We also rang the number as we were running 30min late to know if there was any problem but nobody picked up

Good experience but I have been here during day as well last year and I feel, day experience was better

Came here for moonlight pumpkin picking had a amazing time , we enjoy coming here few times a year ,my children love it ,so much for the kids to do.

We were there for their Halloween special. This meant £50 for an adult and 2 kids. The "Magic Show" was pathetic;15 minutes of banal blether and one weak trick then they announced it was over. Kids were appalled. The potion tent had a disinterested girl direct us to some food colouring and sparkles then on to a muddy patch to collect our pumpkins. Complete waste of time and money.

I have visited the farm a number of times before and have always been really impressed. I booked a trip for my sons birthday so we were a aparty of 12. The attraction was fine with lots to do and lots of spooky decorations- the inside is well organised and all the children had lots of fun my only negative is the parking is ver limited and disorganised - we were being sent all over to park and no where had spaces- the adjacent field has been closed to parking and i think the farm needs to consider reopening when holding busy events as I would be reluctant to return with the current parking situation.

Overpriced pumpkins and 1 stick of marshmallows £5 robbery

Very overpriced, got there at 11 and no places to park had to park and walk to the farm which I’ve never had in previous years. My daughter enjoyed it but definitely could have more included for what you pay I.e a bucket of animal feed

Fantastic day out for the kids, the Halloween ever was mega!

Just back from Reddish Vale always a good set up. We go to all the theme events & non theme events during the year, for tonight’s Halloween theme I didn’t mind the entry fee grandkids love feeding the animals & don’t mind paying for the carrots to feed their animals! but when the charge for a pumpkin was £6 each (x 3) then the marshmellows roasting £5 per child ….toddlers ride £2.50 won’t mention cost of the drinks & lightsaber's £5 felt like tonight although enjoyable was a complete rip off so disappointing at least they could have included a pumpkin in the price such a shame

I usually love this place, but £42.50 for pumpkin picking with 2 adults and a 14month old. My 14 month old could barely engage in the activities the pricing is outrageous for what you get. This pricing is silly and this needs to be reevaluated.

AmaziI highly recommend it. It is wonderful for all children of all ages. There are many activities and games, all of which are very beautiful, and the staff are very friendly.ng farm for all kids have many

We had an absolutely fantastic time enjoying the pumpkin picking and farm animals. The entire farm has been decorated, all the staff were dressed up and there were games, potion making plus a theatre show. Music played outside whilst the kids jumped on the air cushions and played in the park 🎃⭐️😁🤩 fabulous family fun! Really reasonably priced for all on offer too!

Lovely day. Children enjoyed it very much. Nicely decorated for Halloween

My daughter loved her visit today for her spooky birthday treat. The magic show was a sweet touch. The farm is lovely with so much for the kids to do. But her favourite activity was feeding the cows and goats.

One of the worst places to go pumpkin picking ever. It cost us £36 for 2 grown ups and one 4 year old to go pumpkin picking at this "farm". You feed the animals and then you're supposed to wash your hands with warm water but the water flowing from their taps is ice cold. The hand soap was fairy liquid, by the looks of it. Given how many children visit, the lack of warm water and proper soap is a serious health risk. When you ask the staff they direct you to another set of sinks and then run away from you. Then came the real fun bit; the pumpkin "picking". It's not like these clowns grow the pumpkins unlike some authentic places. They buy from a place called pumpkins are us and then spread them around on a piece of land. Then they say you're only allowed one pumpkin, despite there being three of us. We were pretty disappointed with this place and don't recommend this to anyone at all. There are better farms to go pumpkin picking with much better experiences.

Brilliant place for both kids and adults, staff helpful and happy to help, highly recommended 5*

So much more then just a farm With outdoor and indoor play areas make it a full day out so much to do throughout the entire day And fantastic extras like tractor rides and sand pit just give that wow factor Loved that you could pet the animals and feed them carrots which you can purchase when there Definitely recommend this to anyone thinking of going !

Great place to visit with kids. The play area has grown since our last visit so a lot of the climbing frames etc are new. There's so much to do and things like the tractor ride are fantastic. The animals are lovely and obviously well cared for and the staff are very friendly. Will be back soon!

Our first time with granddaughter yesterday. It was brilliant! Plenty of animals to see and feed our favourites were the Pygmy goats. The indoor and outdoor play areas were great for most ages of children. The tractor trailer ride was an extra at £2 but worth it for the fun. Lots to do for a day out. Food was reasonably priced too. Will definitely return.

My daughter and me love this place. IT is very good and nice place

Lovely place, surprisingly big! Absolutely loads to do there for children. Visited with my 1 year old, he enjoyed seeing the animals, riding the tractor ride, the soft play, the foam party, the bouncers, sand pit, great day out! Changing facilities and high chairs for babies. Definitely recommend. Even though it was busy, the place is large enough that it didn't feel over crowded.

Amazing Family Day Out at Reddish Vale Farm !!! It was an absolute delight! It's just a short 25-minute drive from Manchester city centre. Our child especially loved feeding the goats, sheep, and meeting the friendly bunny! The farm animals are well looked after, and the experience was very hands-on, which was fantastic for the kids. We also enjoyed the tractor ride, which gave us a nice tour of the farm. The children's play area is perfect for letting the little ones burn off some energy. It’s a wonderful place to spend a weekend, and we will definitely be coming back soon! Highly recommended for families with young children.

Awesome place for a day out with kids. Lots of attractions for a little ones and grownups.

It is not what I would call a farm. There's not many animals. It is more a big enclosed play area for children.

Came for the summer festival and it was brilliant , fair included , bounce play and face paint , show and the tents , foam party , soft play, park, cute animals obviously so much going on was amazing

Great day out for younger children

Fabulous day despite the rain. Loads to do and see. Very interactive farm. Animals are clearly loved and looked after. Doris the pigmy goat was very entertaining too !!! Would definitely come back.

Visited here with my wife and 2 grandchildren aged 3 and 5 during the school holidays and we had a very enjoyable 4 hour visit. Great fun feeding all the animals plus good indoor and outdoor play areas. The place was kept very clean despite the large number of guests and I thought that the staff were all friendly and helpful. A great day out for the family and easy to book online.

REDDISH VALE FEST FARM YESTERDAY WAS GREAT WE ALL HAD A GOOD TIME. THE STAFF WERE ALL VERY FRIENDLY. SO EVERTHING WAS GREAT. THIS WOULD BE GREAT FOR XMAS AS WELL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANN

brilliant place loads to do, no exageration. animals were amazing so cute. my daughter didnt want to leave. she was definitely well entertained. foam party added bonus. cafe was great too!!

Fantastic day out with our 4 year old granddaughter. She had a wonderful day and so did we. Staff are so friendly and it is all really well organised. Food and drink is reasonably priced too.

Very good for the kids- lots of interaction with the grandchildren from young enthusiastic staff.

We love Reddish Vale Farm. The staff who work there genuinely seem to be enjoying their jobs and are always so helpful and happy. We stayed for five hours! Fantastic foam party to end the day.

A brilliant day. We stayed 5 hours and the grandchildren loved every minute. Never stopped being busy and having fun. Staff were brilliant.

Fantastic petting zoo with great staff!

Fantastic day out for the kids & the play area is amazing, highly recommended.

Fantastic farm and park experience for the kids. We have been 3 times within the last 4 weeks as the kids love it so much. The farm animal interactions are fantastic and the adventure playground is perfect to keep the kids entertained for hours on end. Reasonable pricing makes RVF a fantastic day.

We absolutely love Reddish Vale Farm and have visited lots of time, each time seeing improvements and growth! The children love petting, feeding and grooming the animals. The playground is great for all ages, with the bouncy pillow as an added extra. My son enjoyed playing football and the tractor ride to feed the pigs. There are lots of areas to picnic out of the sun which is great. What we love the most are the staff, who work very hard, always chatting and sharing information. The foam party at the end of the day was lots of fun!!! Thank you for a great day out 😊

Our children loved every minute of our visit. It’s always the highlight of the school holidays. They loved the farm and the playground and the foam party was a perfect end to a very warm day.

Visited with my grandsons who are 6 and 4. They loved feeding the animals, loved holding the guinea pigs and rabbits and loved the play barn and outdoor play area. There is so much to do whatever the weather. The staff are so helpful and friendly and the tractor ride is great fun. Great value for money - a whole day’s entertainment

Amazing day, animal, park, ice cream and foam party!!!

Great day out at the farm. Admission prices are reasonable compared to other farms. The food from the cafe was good too.

We went with 4 other families had a fantastic day . Staff are so friendly and helpful . Will be visiting again soon. Great value.

Fantastic day Great atmosphere Suitable for all ages Something for everyone

Always a great experience! Staff very friendly and great with our kids.

Had a great time here. Met a lovely young lady in animal petting area called Evie. She was very informative,helpful and polite . Definitely go again.

We had the best birthday party here for my 4 year old. Freya who coordinated everything was simply amazing. Loads of energy and enthusiasm and learnt all the kids names in a flash. She made the whole party a very relaxing experience for the parents!

We’ve been a few times and will be back again in future. The animals are all well looked after and healthy, the staff are all friendly and knowledgable and the farm is always clean and well maintained. There is an indoor play area and the animal barn is mostly covered/sheltered for poor weather days, and the outdoor play area is very large and suits a variety of ages. Everyone is so kind and attentive when interacting with our our kids (age 4&6) and the animals seem calm and “well behaved” around children, expect for cheeky Pygmy goats getting their heads in the carrot buckets!

Great Experience and lovely staff.

We had a joint party for our sons on Saturday & it was absolutely brilliant! Our party host Chloe was amazing & so patient while dealing with 16 noisy 3 to 6 year old boys. The whole day went so smoothly, there were no lulls or moments of not doing anything. All the kids had the best day & all the grown ups commented on how great it all was, especially having everyone out in the fresh air the whole time. For us as the parents the whole day was stress free, we just turned up with cake & party bags!

Riding school is brilliant, Masie is a credit to the school she’s amazing with all the kids and the horses within 3 lessons they’re quite confident already! The farms really good too I’ve not been for years and the updated farm now is actually better than I could have ever imagined! Bit of a waiting list but brilliant communication, easy to book you can pay for sessions a week in advance or you can pay a few weeks, it is payment when they phone to say your at the top of the list and I think that’s so much easier. If you want to go the following week you just book at the end of your lesson. Cafe is a decent price too. The kids want birthday parties there so they must enjoy it to want to keep going. My eldest has anxiety around new people and she’s thriving my youngest is too and he’s confident and outgoing so they really do well with all kids! All the leaders are so friendly and confidence boosting the kids all the time, they don’t criticise they just show your child how to do it as many times as it takes🩷
