A big thank you to the 200+ people that turned out on a warm summers evening yesterday for The Pantaloons hilarious rendition of 'The importance of being Ernest' . I think its safe to say everyone was thouroughly entertained! The Pantaloons will be returning to Talkin Tarn on August 23rd with 'As you like it' so get your tickets now ! If you were there last night please post your reviews and comments on the Talkin Tarn page.

Well that’s not a bad forecast for tonight’s outdoor theatre with the Pantaloons performance of ‘The importance of Being Earnest’ at Talkin Tarn is it !! So grab your camping chairs, your sunglasses and maybe a bottle of fizz , and come down tonight for a 7pm start. Tickets will be available on the gate, and we will also be hosting a BBQ – so we will have all your needs catered for. Hope to see you there !

A week today (18th July) we will once again be welcoming The Pantaloons to Talkin Tarn with their quirky and hilarious adaptation of The Importance of Being Ernest. The long range forecast looks like we will be set for a beautiful summers evening.

If you are visiting the Tearoom today please bring cash with you as our card machine is not working, we are waiting for an engineer to fix the problem, Thank you

We went to the pantaloons performance and it was great.

Laughed long and hard.

We have had such a lovely day today visiting talkin tarn. Such a lovely walk, followed by a fun play in the play area and some nice treats in the tearoom. We will definitely be back x

We had our wedding reception at the Boat house tea room on Saturday and what absolutely amazing staff and location. Nothing was to much trouble. Communication was fantastic throughout the planning. The food was loved by all. We had the best day and memories we will treasure forever. Heather and the team are wonderful and helped to make the day a massive success.

We chose to do some water activities as part of my daughter's hen weekend and we had a fantastic time. It was well organised and everyone was really helpful. Thank you

Magical place to visit.. I have been coming here since I was a small boy and although it has changed a lot in recent years it still remains a very special place.

Lovely performance by The Pantaloons, despite there not being enough sand/too much sand (delete as appropriate)

Lovely park ,nice walks with great little cafe ,lots of wildlife with woodland and lakeside paths .

Loved the place even though it rained all day ...the little park was great for my 2 year old grandson and there are plenty of parking spaces and the lovely little cafe makes a great coffee

Kids had a really great time was a lovely day too. Not been in years and was pleasantly surprised how much is still the same and how much has changed will defo b back xx

I've been coming to the tarn since I was a kid, sailed there, swam there, rowed there... I love walking around the tarn... :)

Fantastic place , great for dogs . Nice coffee shop .

Very very disappointed with the new park. Was there on Friday it was extremely windy, the sand is too fine and was blowing into the kids eyes. What was the matter with the bark chippings or more rubber base??? Brought home two very unhappy little boys with sore eyes Will not be rushing back, such a shame a good park ruined
