Be a Farmer for the Day

Ideal for children aged 8 - 12 years to experience being a farmer for the day!

Our Be a Farmer days are incredibly popular, and our next Be a Farmer of 2024 will be during the Summer holidays.

A full day of fun at the Farm that is perfect for animal enthusiasts to experience life on a Care Farm.

Children will spend the day in a small group with one of our Animal Care Team, helping to complete essential tasks around the Farm. The day will be split into 3 sessions with a morning break and a break for lunch. Children can expect to get stuck in with a variety of different activities, and can ask as many questions during the day as they would like!

Children will need to bring their own lunch and wear suitable clothing (including wet weather gear) - you will get muddy!

Generally, parents will not be able to stay with the children throughout the day, but you are welcome to buy separate entrance tickets and enjoy the Farm on your own or visit the Green Leaf Café in the heart of the Farm. If you would like to explore the Farm after the activity, please feel free to do so as entrance to the Farm is included in the Be a Farmer ticket price. You can enjoy seeing the other animals, strolling through the woodland, spotting wildlife, and being in the fresh air. 

Please note: We want to make sure all children taking part in our Be a Farmer activity have the best possible experience with us. If the child taking part in this activity has any specific requirements or access requirements that we should be aware of, please let us know when you fill out the registration form. Depending on your answer, we may ask you to stay with your child during the activity and we may contact you regarding your answer.
