A day out for the whole family

Enjoy animal encounters, craft activities, music workshops, forest school sessions and classic fairground rides. Choose from local street‑food stalls or bring a picnic to enjoy on the Showground.

The centre ring hosts a day long programme including heavy horse displays, a slow tractor race, pony club musical rides and fast scurry driving. Visitors can explore a medieval encampment, try bushcraft with Woodland Ways, and drop into talks, live music and culinary demos with Pure Peak magazine. Conservation Corner highlights key projects across the Peak District.

Ages 15 and under go free.
