Join us throughout March as we celebrate the unique landscape, wildlife, and heritage of our home. We are proud to be part of the New Forest Awakening Festival, a month-long celebration of climate, nature, and sustainability.

We have curated a special series of events designed to highlight the strong links between local food, our community, and the environment. Whether you want to walk the land, taste the produce, or just learn something new, there is something for everyone.

This Mother’s Day, spoil Mum with a relaxed celebration in the heart of the New Forest. Forget the cooking and the washing up, bring the family to Hockey’s Farm for a truly special treat.

We are serving our exclusive Farmyard Afternoon Tea, featuring tiers of freshly prepared finger sandwiches, homemade cakes, and of course warm scones with clotted cream and jam. It’s the perfect way to slow down, catch up, and say "thank you" in beautiful surroundings.

After tea, why not take a stroll to see the farm animals or browse the Farm Shop? We’ll be stocked with beautiful artisan gifts, spring flowers, and bottles from The Vinery so you can pick up the perfect present to take home.

Menu: Traditional Afternoon Tea (Vegetarian & Gluten-Free options available on request)

Add a Sparkle: Upgrade her day with a chilled glass of Prosecco!

School is out, spring has arrived, and the farm is buzzing with new life. If you are looking for a fun, fresh-air filled day out for the whole family this Easter break, look no further than Hockey’s Farm.

Meet the Animals - There is no better time to visit the farm than springtime. Come and say hello to our resident family- including our rare breed British Lop pigs, the friendly donkeys, and our curious alpacas. It’s a great way for children to disconnect from screens and reconnect with nature.

The Great Hockey’s Easter Trail- Explore the farm with our special Easter activity! Pick up a trail sheet from the shop, find the clues hidden around the animal paddocks, and claim a sweet treat at the end. A perfect mini-adventure for little explorers.

Refuel in The Farmyard Café - After all that fresh air, warm up in the café. We are serving a special Easter holiday menu featuring:

• Kids’ Lunch Boxes: Healthy, tasty, and packed with local goodness.

• Luxury Hot Chocolates: The ultimate treat for chilly spring mornings.

• Homemade Cakes: Including our seasonal Easter specials.

Treats to Take Home Before you leave, a visit to the Farm Shop is a must. From artisan chocolate eggs and hot cross buns to fresh local produce for your evening meal, we have everything you need to continue the Easter celebrations at home.

Dates: Open daily throughout the Easter Holidays

Admission: Free to visit the animals | £2 for Easter Trail

Top Tip for Parents: The Farmyard Café is very popular during the school holidays. To avoid disappointment, we recommend booking a table online before you set off.

Easter Sunday is all about gathering the family for a proper feast. This year, make the centerpiece truly special with meat from Hockey’s award-winning butchery.

Whether you are looking for a traditional locally reared Leg of Lamb, a succulent joint of our own rare breed British Lop pork, or a dry-aged rib of beef, our master butchers have prepared the finest cuts for your table. Because we source locally and farm our own, you can taste the quality in every bite.

Don't forget the trimmings: Our farm shop shelves are bursting with everything you need to complete the meal. Pick up fresh spring vegetables, jars of goose fat for the perfect roasties, and artisan mint sauce or apple condiment.

Master Butcher’s Recommendation: "For a real crowd-pleaser, try our British Lop Hand of Pork. It offers incredible crackling and stays moist and tender, perfect for a large family gathering."

How to Order: To guarantee your preferred joint and weight, please place your Easter order in advance.
