Picnic and Play Area

Adventuring in the fresh air is hungry work! Make the most of the open space at our picnic and play area at Studfold Adventure and Fairy Trail, where you can play, relax, refuel and take in beautiful views of the Yorkshire Dales.

No need to carry your picnic around the trail – simply drop it at Reception on arrival and we’ll deliver it to the picnic and play area for you, free of charge. Drop-offs are made at 11.30am, 12.30pm and 1.30pm. You are very welcome to bring all your own food or you can order a delicious picnic from the Nidderdale Way Cafe, served in a basket. BBQs are not permitted.

At the picnic and play area, families can relax while children enjoy the adventure course, ride-on tractors and sandpits, as well as explore the interactive historic barn. 

There’s shelter in the barn for when the weather plays up. We also have excellent baby change facilities at Studfold, as well as great eco loos.

Touring park visitors: Please note that this play park is only available with trail entry on the day of booking. The Adventure Trail is open from 10am to 5pm. To book, please click on the Book Trail button at the top of this page or enquire at reception.
