Bucklebury Farm Park in Reading is a magical venue for children. It offers a great day out, whatever the weather, that appeals to the whole family, as well as school groups and other organisations. Interests include a deer park, farm animals, tractor rides and play areas. They also offer facilities for children’s birthday parties.

You can have meal choices in Henry’s Hut, or a themed party in one of their decorated tepees, with things like face painting, children’s entertainers and puppet shows thrown in for good measure. But, what does every self-respecting child really expect for the ultimate birthday party? Of course, their very own party fun bus.

Bucklebury Farm had a problem sourcing such an unusual item, but when they came to Johnson Reed for some help, we came up trumps. They are now the proud owners of a bus worth £20,000 for which we provided the finance deal, repayable over 36 months.

We have a lot of experience in the leisure sector, not to mention the bus and coach finance. So, to bring those two together was, well, a walk in the park for Johnson Reed. Bucklebury Farm Park meanwhile will have an exciting new addition to their repertoire for the 2013 season. Their deal with us will provide added interest and income for them, as well as acting as a sound investment in equipment that they were able to acquire immediately. It will inevitably pay for itself across the coming months and years, as hundreds of lucky children swarm all over it.
