We also have a large range of play equipment such as toy tractors, bouncy castles, inflatable assault courses and indoor/outdoor play areas. We also run seasonal activities such as:- Easter Egg Hunts,Halloween and Christmas Activities. We have an on site cafe that sells hot and cold food and snacks, crisps, chocolate drinks and ice-cream.

We have a large gift shop that sells a variety of toys and gifts for visitors to purchase as a memory of their visit.

❄️ CLOSED TODAY - DUE TO SNOW ❄️
We have made the decision to close the farm today Sunday 5th January 2025 due to the snowy conditions. We have lots of staff unable to get in, with lots of snow on on the ground so we have made the decision to close.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused. Any tickets purchased online will be refunded. Any pre booked parties can be rearranged/refunded.

We are working hard to clear the roads and get all the animals looked after.
