Scarborough's Playdale Farm ready to celebrate 20th anniversary

On Saturday June 6, there will be fun galore for families at the Cayton-based attraction which first opened to the public in 2006.

And now they want to celebrate the landmark occasion with everyone.

On the day there will be face painting (for a small charge of £2 per child), an inflatable slide to enjoy and the ladybug ride will return for youngsters to take a ride towards the paddock where they can see horses and llamas.

All children from the age of one upwards will receive a free commemorative toy sheep as a thank you from Playdale Farm, for one day only, with a Playdale 20 ribbon arond its neck.

Paddy from This Is The Coast will be there from 10am to noon, chatting to customers as part of his radio broadcast.

Jackie Wilson, who owns the business with husband Mark, said the official anniversary was April 6 but they wanted to move it to June in the hope of enjoying nicer weather for the occasion.

She said: “This is Mark and I’s baby – we set it up from being pig farmers.

“We came out of that interested to do this and didn’t know how it would take off, but it did.

"After 20 years, we’re starting to step back a little but my girls Megan and Poppy have now started to take over and it’s time for the next generation to move it forward their way.

"It’s a special thing that we’re still going after that period of time.”
