At the farm, you’ll have the chance to: Meet and interact with our friendly animals — get up close to goats, sheep, rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens while learning about their care and different breeds. Take a peaceful nature walk, enjoying the sights and sounds of the countryside. Get creative with a calming, hands-on craft activity. Refuel with a delicious and nutritious lunch. Parents/guardians/carers are required to stay on site and everyone attending will need to apply for a ticket. Please contact us if you'd like to bring along a sibling who does not meet the HAF free school meals criteria/or is under 5 years of age.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
