Activities

The working farm offers a range of activities that include farm walks, a Nature Trail, a bird hide, a football area, an indoor play barn, an onsite shop/reception, a duck pond, and the farmyard gang. Visitors who stay in March have the opportunity to witness the birth of the ewes’ lambs, which is an incredible experience. The farm shares this experience with onsite guests and the public visitors who join them on select Sundays or Wednesdays for the open-to-the-public sessions. Pre-booking is essential for these events.

The farm has excellent facilities for both couples and families, including the Mini Bee’s Play Area, a sports field, farm rambles, and the play barn. Visitors can hire a fire pit and toast marshmallows, meet the farmyard gang and the very own Farmer Percy, and even rent the BBQ Hut to make their stay even more memorable. Additionally, the farm organizes themed events throughout the year, such as Lambing, Pumpkin Patch, Bonfire Night, and more.

The interactive Nature Trail is an excellent way for visitors to explore the farm and discover the wildlife that inhabits it, from hares to hedgehogs and everything in between. It’s perfect for taking four-legged friends for a walk.
