Things to do

Bucklebury Farm is a working farm that offers a variety of fun activities for children. Kids can interact with plenty of animals, such as baby lambs, goat kids, rabbits, guinea pigs, and piglets. They can feed them, cuddle with them, and even bottle-feed baby lambs in the spring. The farm also organises daily activities like ‘Pat-a-Pet’, ‘Get to Know the Goats’, and ‘Piggy Playtime’, which allow children to get up close and personal with the animals. There are also play areas where kids can explore, such as a soft play area with four slides, obstacles, a zip line, and hidden facts and pictures about farm animals. Outdoor activities include a bouncing pillow, zip line, climbing frames, and pedal go-karts. There’s also Woody’s Leap Obstacle course for those seeking a challenge.

In addition to the animals, Bucklebury Farm is home to various types of deer, including Red, Sika, Fallow, and Axis deer. If you visit during spring and summer, you can take a tractor ride to feed the deer. In winter, there’s an alternative deer feeding activity you can enjoy. The entry fee includes one tractor ride per person to feed the deer.
