What visitors say

Lisa Rumble

Fantastic day out for both little and big kids! There is so much to see and do, from the sheep racing and ferret racing to the educational talks throughout the day. It's a real working farm with beautiful, well-looked-after animals, including adorable piglets and magnificent Shire horses. The tractor ride was a great addition and a hit with everyone. There is also a lovely restaurant and shop on site, making it easy to spend the whole day there. Every member of staff we met was friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about the farm and its animals. There is plenty to keep them going with 3/4 play areas and places to eat and have a picnic! A brilliant family day out that we would highly recommend!

Second time having visited after an eight year lapse. The farm is just bigger and better than last time, and even then it was good. In addition to great exposure to the traditional farm animals, there is a well stocked farm shop, restaurants and eateries and ice cream galore (great for a sunny day like when we visited). There is also the mammals house and reptile house. Sheep racing and tractor rides. A number of educational information posts dotted throughout that aid understanding of how important British farming is. Ample car parking with an option to pay online when booking your tickets. Animal feed is plenty for £1 per portion. Great for families as it was for ours but great for any demographic also.

Really nice day out for Father’s Day. 2 year old enjoyed the walkable grounds and seeing the various animals. Seeing the piglets at different ages was great. Sheep race was fun! The restaurant was great and portions were huge! Soft play has multiple sections for different ages of children. Would come again to try other activities as daughter gets older.

Lovely day to visit weekdays are lower footfall we got around all the animals. There’s talks, ferret and sheep racing during the week all earlier in the day for a May weekday visit. Nice cafe stop and ice cream. There’s multiple places to eat or get a snack. Visited the shop lots of great local produce. The last picture of the sheep racing is from summer separate visit. We live close and it’s a regular place we visit throughout the year.
