Our clubs for children and teenagers offer a fantastic opportunity to meet like-minded peers of a similar age, while enjoying the outdoors and spending time with farm animals.
We provide a range of clubs throughout the year, from one-off taster sessions during school holidays to term-based sessions during school terms.
Young Farmers Club (8 years +) – Our young farmers get involved in all aspects of farm life, from feeding animals and caring for them to mucking out and more. Each season brings new tasks, so no two terms are ever the same. Young farmers also have the chance to gain AQA Unit Award Scheme certification in farming.
Animal Care Club (5 years +) – Our animal care group focuses on meeting, feeding, petting, and walking the animals. They also assist with the morning feed rounds. This group is ideal for those who prefer not to take part in tasks like mucking out but still want to engage with the animals in a more hands-on way.
We offer a variety of sessions throughout the year, including Saturday mornings, after-school clubs, and school holiday programmes.
Our farm is CEVAS accredited to provide educational visits, and all staff running the courses are DBS checked, first aid trained, and have completed safeguarding training.

My son visits this farm once a week through school . He has ADHD and ASD and everyone at the farm have really made an impact on his life in general! We were very kindly invited as a family to visit and see what H gets up to on his visits . We all had the best time the whole feel of the farm is relaxing, Calm and Happy 😊. All the animals are so very well looked after which you can tell by how affectionate they are ❤️. Thank you.

We had such a lovely experience during our visit, feeding the lamb and holding the baby goats. Zenan was a great tour guide.

This has been on my bucket list for a very long time but I didn't want to do it in a crowded environment with lots of people who may scare the animals. Frampton Farm was exceptional we had a private visit of 4 adults it was educational and a lot of fun interacting with the baby lambs and goats and all the other animals that are looked after on the farm. We were lucky enough to feed the lambs and the whole experience was so memorable. We have a grandson who is 2 and we hope to return with him next year when is a little bit older and understands more. Thank you to Karen and the team for an amazing experience we highly recommend this experience.

An outstanding visit. The owners have really taken a corner of the market in an excellent fashion. I’ve taken most of my Grandchildren round and each experience has been different, but just as enjoyable!! An excellent attraction!
