This Remembrance Day, we honour all the brave men and women who served our country and also the millions of horses, ponies, donkeys, and mules who stood by them. We remember them all ♥️💜

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.” 🐾

Our Story

Rutland Farm Park, in Oakham, was a popular location back the 1980's and 90's, but was forced to shut 16 years ago following the UK-wide foot and mouth disease outbreak and has remained closed to the public ever since.

The Farm park is set in 19 acres of parkland which was part of the Noel estate. The family lived in Catmose, which now houses Rutland County Council. The farm buildings are their original Victorian farm buildings. The park land is the only remaining part of the Noel estate still used in the original way. Rutland Farm Park, has been in the Ball Family for over 5 generations. Today, we are focusing on the conservation and education of various flora and flaunt, We are trying to conserve rare breeds of sheep, cattle. pigs and poultry. We are also planning to conserve the Victorian Farm Yard and buildings. Rutland Farm Park is a place for families, adults and schools to come and enjoy a fun day out. Children of all ages will be able to meet and learn all about our range of farm animals, enjoy a walk in the fresh air, explore the small original and traditional farm, and see how farming is done today.

You can meet and feed the goats in the children's corner, pet a guinea pig in the guinea pig and rabbit area, you can also feed the cows, llama, Alpacas, sheep and pigs. Soon you will be able walk through our Poultry free range bird pen, feed the birds, and get to collect our eggs as well as enjoying a walk through the woodlands (COMING SOON) Every one will be able to enjoy our home cooked food, cakes, tray-bakes and snacks in our brand new tea room.
