    What guests say

    Kind words from parents, organisers and event teams.

    ★★★★★
    “The kids absolutely loved it. We had to drag them away when their session ended. Ran incredibly smoothly and the operator was brilliant with the younger ones.”
    Sarah M. · Birthday Party, Nottinghamshire
    ★★★★★
    “One of the standout attractions at our spring fair. Constant queue from opening to close. We'll definitely have them back next year.”

    ★★★★★
    “Even the dads couldn't stop playing. We booked it for our corporate family day and it was the most-talked-about activity of the day.”

    Fun that every child can join in, whatever their ability. Proud to be part of days like this.

    Good to know

    The questions parents and organisers ask most.

    How much space do you need?
    Our arena is 3 x 5 or 4 x 6 metres, depending on your space, plus a little room for guests to stand around the caution tape. We can fit most halls, gardens and event spaces.
    Indoors or outdoors?
    Both. The floor is fully protected with heavy-duty sheeting, so village halls, marquees and living-room-sized spaces are all fine. We leave no sand behind.
    How long does the activity last?
    Around 2 hours of play, and we can flex a little either way on the day. We arrive about an hour before to set up and pack down afterwards.
    What ages is it for?
    Little Diggers Farm suits ages 3 to 6, Pro Operators suits ages 6 and up, and adults get just as competitive at corporate events. A bigger Pro excavator to try is included for confident drivers.
    Do you need power?
    The machines are battery powered. One standard socket nearby for recharging controllers is helpful but not essential for shorter events.
    Where do you travel?
    We are based in Worksop, Nottinghamshire and regularly cover Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Lincolnshire. Further afield is often possible, just ask.
    How much does it cost?
    Little Diggers Farm starts from £360 and Pro Operators from £480, depending on your location and timings. Corporate events are quoted individually. December dates book up early, so get in touch soon.
