5 Best Activities In Warminster

Longleat Safari and Adventure Park if the children want animals, noise and a full day of both. Stourhead if you want a long walk through beautiful grounds and children who run instead of queuing. The first is an event, the second is a place, and families with under-fives often prefer the second.

Less, and there is no point dressing that up. Funways covers indoor play, Flying Saucers Pottery Painting Cafe gives you a table and an afternoon, and The Warminster Saddle Club suits a child who has started asking about horses. The big days out sit outside the town, which is how this part of Wiltshire works.

Only two entries here are roofed, so rain narrows the field fast. Funways and Flying Saucers Pottery Painting Cafe are the two to know about. Longleat Safari and Adventure Park still functions in rain if you are content to see a good deal of it from the car.

The Warminster Saddle Club is the only entry built around riding, and for the right child it is the reason to come rather than an add-on. Riding schools work to booked sessions and age limits, so this one needs arranging in advance instead of being dropped in on when an afternoon opens up.
