Start your visit by meeting our resident farm family, say hello to the British Lop pigs, giggle at the alpacas, and visit the donkeys. It’s the perfect opportunity for the children to connect with nature and see real farm life up close.

Once you’ve explored the outdoors, warm up in The Farmyard Café. We’ll be serving our famous luxury hot chocolates, kid-friendly lunches, and hearty meals to keep the cold at bay. Before you head home, pop into the Farm Shop to pick up some treats for tea - dinner sorted!

Cost: Free to visit the animals | Café & Shop open as usual

Top Tip: The Farmyard Café gets busy during the school holidays! We recommend booking a table in advance to guarantee your spot for lunch.
