Studley Grange - more than just a garden centre

With great food, soft play, shops galore and even the Butterfly World and Farm Park, it’s definitely a lot more than just a garden centre.

Studley Grange can be found just off Junction 16 of the M4.

The choice of places to eat is great. There’s the Garden Restaurant & Butterfly Café with freshly made food to order and a selection of cakes made in their own bakery.

And if you fancy taking some treats home visit the farm shop full of edible delights.

There’s also the fully air conditioned soft play area, including separate section for toddlers where there’s refreshments and freshly baked cookies available.

A spokesperson for the attraction said: “We have also recently undergone an extensive building programme. The new extension is now complete and we can offer an even larger selection of giftware, furniture and toys.

“There’s even a dolls house area; where we can offer everything from complete dolls houses and furniture sets to individual figures and items to complete your rooms.

“If you browse our indoor and outdoor plant areas, a member of experienced staff will be able to help you with your selections.

“And you can treat yourself to a new barbecue or set of garden furniture to relax in and enjoy the sunshine.”

Visitors can also pamper themselves with an onsite hair dresser and nail bar or take part in a bit of retail therapy and buy a new outfit from Klass Clothing, Edinburgh Woollen Mill or Monique Clothing.

The spokesperson added: “We also have a range of concessions to complete your experience, from pottery painting to model railways and a whole lot more.

“Pets are not forgotten here either. We have Pet Shed and World of Water onsite. We also have a section of the restaurant set aside for dogs and their owners.”

At the popular Butterfly World & Farm Park visitors can walk through a tropical setting surrounded by free-flying butterflies or enter the reptile section and see a range of creepy crawlies, before walking through the Zoo area and spotting the Meerkats, Darwin the Otter and Rigby the Raccoon, finishing off at the Farm with the pygmy goats, pigs, cows, alpacas, chickens and geese. Lucky visitors might even get a chance to see the baby pygmy goats and emu chicks.
