We aim to offer farmyard fun for all ages, all year round, in the fresh air and tranquillity of the countryside! We have a plethora of lovely animals to meet, feed and cuddle, an indoor play barn to have fun in, go-karts to ride around on, a shop to browse and a cosy café to visit. Our riding school is also open all year round and offers lessons or hacking for all abilities as well as short pony rides.

Term Time Fun at the Farm Park:
Lots to do during the week and at weekends….
There’s always plenty to do at the farm park, whatever the weather. Why not get a bag of animal feed and hand feed some of our lovely animals as you wander the farm park and visit our indoor animals in our barn and Ark; take time for the children to enjoy our super indoor play barn, The Rainforest, while you relax with a coffee; experience other play areas with our go-karts, bouncy castle, outdoor play equipment and sand-pit and take time for some delicious homemade food in our Garden Room café. On weekdays during term time, we have structured times for events such as small animal handling, meerkat feeding and pony grooming (with lamb bottle feeding from Spring to mid-summer too). At the weekends we also have ferret racing, wallaby encounters and short pony rides for the little ones available too (£2.50 a go)! Events can be subject to change and timings can be found on our daily Facebook page updates here.
Summer Holidays!
Jam packed fun for all ….
What a lovely time to be at the farm park, enjoying all of our activities on long, warm Summer days. Every day, Monday to Sunday we have Meerkat feeding, ferret racing, small animal handling, pony grooming, wallaby encounters and short pony rides (£2.50 a go).Events are subject to change and timings can be found on our daily Faceebook page updates here. The farm park is such a relaxing place to experience at this time of year when the kids are off and so nice to take in our scenic, animal based rural setting, sitting to eat al fresco and enjoying our outdoor play equipment. Even on those pesky rainy days there’s our great indoor play barn, The Rainforest, our lovely Garden Room Café and indoor animal barns. Don’t miss our special event days too, including The Big Bubbleman and Punch and Judy!.
