Award-winning visitor attraction brought to market

 

Specialist business property adviser Christie & Co has been instructed to market Park Hall Farm Countryside Experience, a multi-award-winning family visitor attraction near Oswestry, Shropshire.

 

The well-established attraction occupies an extensive 123-acre site and has built a strong reputation as one of the region's leading family destinations, attracting over 64,000 visitors annually.

 

Originally established as a working farm museum and subsequently developed into a purpose-built visitor experience, Park Hall Farm offers an exceptional turnkey opportunity for operators, investors, leisure groups, educational providers or family attraction businesses seeking a proven, profitable operation with substantial future growth potential. 

 

Park Hall Farm's appeal is underpinned by an extensive and diverse range of attractions, including four museums, indoor and outdoor play facilities, animal encounters, adventure activities, educational experiences and the unique World War One Trenches Experience.

 

The attraction's position close to the England-Wales border, provides access to multiple catchments across Shropshire, Cheshire, North Wales and the wider Midlands. The business benefits from loyal customers with over 2,000 annual memberships as well as a strong schools market, welcoming 4,822 educational visitors in the latest reported period.

 

With long leasehold tenure arrangements extending until 2097, there are significant opportunities to expand events, food and beverage sales, retail offering and visitor numbers. The site also includes a three-bedroom cottage available from October 2026, suitable for owner occupation, staff accommodation or rental income.

 

Tom Glanvill, Director - Retail & Leisure at Christie & Co, who is managing the sale process, comments: “Park Hall Farm represents one of the most compelling visitor attraction opportunities to come to the market in recent years. The business combines scale, profitability, strong visitor numbers and an exceptionally diverse offering, all within a highly accessible location serving both England and Wales.

 

“With a loyal customer base, multiple income streams, extensive infrastructure already in place and clear opportunities for further growth, it offers purchasers a rare chance to acquire a genuine destination attraction with significant future potential. We anticipate strong interest from both existing operators looking to expand and new investors seeking entry into the thriving family leisure and attractions sector.”

 

The long leasehold for Park Hall Farm Countryside Experience is on the market leasehold with an asking price of £999,999.
