Isle of Wight Aqua Park

The only outdoor floating Aqua Park on the Island.  Climb, slip, slide, jump! Over 20 obstacles to tackle.  Great fun for anyone over the age of 8 years.

Archery & Axe throwing  

Whether you’re a complete novice or a modern day Robin Hood, our experienced, trained staff will provide quality coaching in our purpose built covered barn. Great fun for anyone over 11 years.

Clay Pigeon Shooting 

An exciting Clay Pigeon Shooting and Rifle Range facility operated by Top Targets, tucked away on the edge of our farm. The experienced team welcome shooters of all abilities.

Isle of Wight Football Golf 

The Island's first Football Golf course is opening at Tapnell Farm on Monday 21st June. Football Golf uses the same rules as golf but instead of using a club, players take turns to kick a ball into the hole, using the fewest kicks possible to score. The course at Tapnell Farm has two x 9 hole options; a short course with a range of fun obstacles to tackle and a 9 hole long course which is more about gong the distance.  Players can also combine the two to play 18 holes.  Located on a hill, there is also the added bonus of enjoying the most stunning countryside and sea views as you play the course!

Originally a dairy farm, Tapnell has become the Isle of Wight’s leading eco-tourism business where sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.

School groups

Tapnell Farm is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with uninterrupted rural and sea views, stunning sunsets and beautiful beaches on our doorstep.
