We had our son’s birthday party here in July and it was the best day. It’s such a lovely space and perfect for toddlers. The soft play area is really great and then there’s a separate space off the side where parents can get hot drinks and move away from all the noise if they want to. This is also the space where the children eat once they’re ready too. The food was really good and there was plenty of it. The owners are so friendly, attentive and accommodating and I couldn’t recommend the barnyard highly enough. Looking forward to coming back for a visit to the soft play soon!

We hired the barnyard for my son's 3rd birthday party. He and his friends all had an amazing time. So much space and lots of clean and safe equipment to explore and play with. The staff were super friendly and attentive, and the food options were great for the little ones. Thanks so much!

The Barnyard is an excellent area for children to explore, develop co-ordination skills as well as their social skills by interacting with other children. The first visit may take awhile for them to settle & feel comfortable on unfamiliar equipment. By the 2nd visit they really enjoy discovering what they can do. It's so lovely to see the kiddies enjoy more of the colourful equipment It's helpful for Mum's to be involved more in the beginning Tables & benches are available for Mum's to enjoy coffee or a drink and a sweet treat, snack or lunch sold on the premises. Parking in Ringwood is free at Waitrose for 2 hours & paid parking at the Furlong public parking area next to the Gateway Council offices. The Barnyard can be hired for birthdays on a Saturday if pre-booked. This is a really special venue for little ones.

We held our son’s 3rd birthday at the Barnyard this weekend after visiting a few times and we were not disappointed. The softplay is always spotless and is perfect for those with young children who want to sit back and enjoy a hot drink whilst still being able to see them at all times. The party package is wonderful value for money, the buffet was brilliant with a great selection of food, the owners were a fantastic help and all of the children had a great time. I would highly recommend visiting and hosting birthdays at the Barnyard, we will definitely be back soon.

We celebrated our son’s second birthday today at The Barnyard, and it truly exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, the staff were absolutely incredible - friendly, attentive, and brilliant with the children. The soft play area was a huge hit, and every single child had an amazing time. The party setup itself was lovely, with beautifully arranged trellis tables and a great selection of fresh, tasty buffet food. It was also really convenient that adults could purchase drinks and snacks throughout the party, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable for everyone. Overall, this was outstanding value for money. Our son (and all the other kids!) had the best time, and it made for such a special, stress-free celebration. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this venue and will definitely be booking again in the future!
