Hockerhill Farm

If you’re after something a bit different from the usual park run-around, Hockerhill Farm over in Brewood is worth knowing about. It’s more of a rural experience than a traditional play spot — think countryside air, farm surroundings, and a slower pace that kids don’t always get enough of. It won’t suit everyone, especially if yours need a climbing frame to stay engaged, but for little ones curious about farm life it’s a genuine change of scenery. Brewood itself is a lovely corner of Staffordshire, so worth combining with a wander round the village while you’re out that way.
