Visit a real  working small farm

We are proud to be able to share our family farm with you. Join our farm guide for a 1-hour private tour of our small farm, where you’ll get an exclusive look at our animals, learn about farm life, and enjoy the tranquillity of the countryside. It’s a great way to connect with nature and experience the charm of our farm up close.

Our farm guide will take you on a tour to meet all our farm animals, providing an up-close experience as you enter some of our paddocks. You'll have the chance to interact with the animals, learn about their care, and enjoy a hands-on experience in a relaxed and friendly setting. It’s a great opportunity to get to know the animals and explore our farm from a personal perspective.

Our farmers will share all sorts of fascinating details about our animals, including their names, the history of how they came to our farm, and interesting facts about each breed. They’re also happy to answer any questions you may have. You’ll have plenty of time to play with some of our friendly animals and take your own photos. Our animals love a selfie, and we’d love to see your pictures on social media, so please remember to tag us!

On this visit, you won’t be able to hand-feed the animals. If you would like to have the opportunity to feed them, we kindly ask that you book our VIP Experience. While our animals would certainly enjoy being fed additional times throughout the day, we need to ensure their health and stick to their scheduled meal times. Thank you for understanding!

This experience is the perfect choice if you're looking for some exclusive time with our animals, whether for just you, your family, friends, or as part of a small mixed group. Each session can accommodate up to 8 people. You have the option to book for up to 5 people and join a mixed group of other visitors, or you can choose to book for a private group of 6-8 people, ensuring a more personalised and intimate experience with the animals.

Who is the visit    Suitable for?

This experience is suited to children aged 3 years and older. However, when young children are in attendance, we may choose not to go into paddocks with larger animals for safety reasons. Children under 3 years can attend free of charge, but please be aware that we may ask you to carry them when we are around animals who tend to jump up. Your child’s safety is our priority, and we want to make sure everyone has an enjoyable experience!

Our land is on hills, and the paddocks can get muddy in wet weather, so, unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate wheelchairs or pushchairs on the farm. However, if you wish to visit with a wheelchair, please email us in advance. We may be able to arrange for some animals to be brought to the barn or yard area, which is more accessible, allowing you to meet and feed them in a comfortable setting. Please reach out, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your visit.
