Dorset Heavy Horse Farm Park

What a lovely place. The horses and other animals are well looked after and we were able to feed, pet and see them all being fed on the farmyard tour. Lots to do: talks, a retro fair, go karts, trampolines, swings, tractor ride and play areas. There’s a small shop and rabbit petting area too. You can buy food there but we took a birthday picnic and there were plenty of tables to use. Staff were friendly and non-intrusive. Recycling of waste was well set up. Very well worth the price of the tickets. You can definitely find plenty to do for a whole day. Can definitely recommend for all ages of animal lovers!

Loved this place, the staff were great, learned all about the horses and what they were used for in the past, crops, The travelling life, gypsies etc. Great talks and demonstrations throughout the day, horse and cart rides, tractor rides, lots of other animals, play park, horse shoe throwing, go carts, indoor play area, even a walk through the front line, what it would have been like during the war. Food was great too. Definitely recommend a visit, suitable for all ages.

Really great staff here. Reasonably priced food at the on site cafe. It's a compact site with a fair amount of information boards, friendly and helpful staff and a few key activities spaced out nicely through the day. It's not the best for accessibility and I wouldn't necessarily recommend coming for wheelchair users. I honestly thought the price per ticket was high but when you understand what they do there I think it's worth it.

What an exceptional facility with welcoming members of staff and unique experiences. I heard of this facility by word of mouth and knew I visit was a must. I was warmly welcomed by every staff member I crossed paths with. Sholto even offered me the opportunity to help feed the horses when it was time, what a treat! Very kind staff across the board as. Sholto even let me bend his ear for a good ten minutes to chat about my horses back home. Richard was a fantastic conversation, too, and so knowledgeable with a great sense of humor and banter. It was really neat to see some incredibly rare breeds I’d only read about (Noriker, Ardennes, and the Suffolk Punch) and learn more about them during a presentation of the rare breeds. Each have their own unique story/history that was shared with us, too. They all have a wonderful disposition and very sweet to interact with. A nice gem to stumble upon and definitely recommended to make a visit.
