Get to work alongside our Farmer and our animals for a whole day. Help with mucking out, feeding and playing. Learn about animal care. Enjoy fun games and activities too.

With no age limit, we organise each group to a similar age, so that the activities carried out will be suitable for that age group. So whether you are 6 years old or over 60 years old, there's something for everyone to enjoy. For Farmers under the age of 16, we ask that a responsible adult accompany the child to assist with adhering to all the guidance and safety instructions provided. Parents who want to join in the experience must book a ticket too. Everyone needs to bring lunch and drinks, and suitable clothing for the weather.
