Be a Farmer for the Day

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

Back by popular demand! A huge success in previous years, we are so excited to reintroduce our Be a Farmer for the Day activity. 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 - you will get  muddy!

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. 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. There is a café onsite.
