What guests say

Kind words from parents, organisers and event teams.

“Our children loved this activity. Bilal was very professional and helpful. The diggers were a big hit at our adventure day - the children loved them.”
Jane H · Charity adventure day, Cawthorne, August 2026 · Rated 5 out of 5 for quality of service, value and communication · Read the original review on Add to Event
“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.”
Event Organiser · Community Fair
“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.”

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.
Can you set up indoors?
Yes. The floor is fully protected with heavy-duty sheeting, so village halls, marquees and function rooms are all fine, and we leave no sand behind. Read how indoor set-ups work.
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.
How many children can play at once?
Between 3 and 6 children can drive in the arena at the same time, either in group games and races or in free play. At bigger parties we rotate small groups so everyone gets a proper turn.
What ages is it for?
Little Diggers Farm suits ages 3 to 6 and Pro Operators suits ages 6 and up. 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. West Yorkshire, Leicestershire and the West Midlands are often possible too. See our areas we cover page or 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. See what affects the price.
How do I book?
Send the enquiry form below with your date, venue and guest numbers. We reply with availability and a clear price, and once you are happy we send a booking confirmation and a secure payment link for the deposit.
Is it safe for young children?
A friendly operator runs the session, the arena is marked out with caution tape, and children wait outside it until it is their turn. The machines are remote-control models, and we choose smaller, gentler ones for the younger age group.
