TO THE OLD ANIMAL FARM FIELD
The Land
The Hop Farm boasts over 500 acres of flat event fields including a challenging 4x4 course and large arena for the
more dangerous spectator sports. As an established touring site, there are toilet and shower blocks and ample space for corporate camping events.
This is the ideal venue for all corporate activities and team building days. The Hop Farm can hire its clients just the field space needed for an event, or the Corporate Team can actively organize an exciting range or activities to suit all group sizes, budgets and requirements. For those who enjoy motorized activities there are quad bikes, 4x4 driving, blindfold driving and reverse steer driving, or for those with their feet planted firmly on the ground we can organize laser clay pigeon shooting, archery, target pistol shooting or target golf. Equally, some people just want to have fun, and The Hop Farm can offer giant sumo wrestling, bungee running, gladiator jousting, human table football, human gyroscope, a wide range of children’s and adult bouncy castles and even the classic fun event “It’s A Knockout”.
