What visitors say
Great day out plenty of animals to see , I took 3 grandkids and payed £3 each for the petting experience which you need to book for this is extra to the £5 per car to get in . All 3 kids loved seeing and feeding the animals , then we went to the peeting bit which was the added experience of holding and stroking rabbits,guinea pigs, chickens,ducklings and rats at the end the staff bought out a Harris hawk for everyone to stroke . Absolute great day which the kids loved from start to finish

Staff are lovely helpfully and its great value for money. As well as supporting a much needed cause. Animals are the stars of the show ♡♡♡♡♡

We absolutely love visiting Applecast Farm, it’s become one of our go-to days out. It’s the perfect size, especially for younger kids, as there’s plenty to see and do without it feeling overwhelming or dragging on. My son is obsessed with the play area and could happily run up and down the obstacle course all day. The animals are great, but I’ll admit the play area is a real highlight for him! The food is lovely and the ice cream is genuinely some of the best we’ve had. In a time where everything seems to be getting more expensive, £5 for parking makes this a really affordable day out. It’s not just great for the kids either — it’s a nice, relaxed place for adults too. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

We love it! Its such a great place to take the kids. We love feeding all the animals, the deer are my personal favourite. It is also fully accessible and has brilliant changing facilities for our disabled son. The food in the cafe is delicious, and there is also a little shop, plus they sell plants too.
