Open Farm Fun Animal Experience

This is a real hands-on experience, loved by children and adults alike. Don’t worry if it’s raining there’s lots undercover too and plenty of free parking.

Come and meet our animals - including pygmy goats, our Kune-Kune Pigs, reptiles, bunnies and guinea pigs, plus lots lots more! Why not have a donkey ride, feed the lambs, play on the tractors and new go-karts, let off steam in the straw barn and then wander down the paddocks. We also have a daily itinerary running all year round.

The farm staff will always be on hand to introduce you to many of our animals and will happily answer any questions you might have.

All in all we are home to more than 120 animals, some of which are unusual rare breeds rarely seen. Wander around and you’ll see there is lots more to enjoy. Guaranteed to bring to smile to everyone’s face. View our picture gallery on the Open Farm page.

Mini Golf next to Woodcrest Garden Centre - balls, clubs and scorecards are available in the Farm Shop.

Farm Parties with your own farm guide & meal in the party room in Wellies Café.

Straw Barn

You’ll love our Straw Barn. There’s fresh, sweet smelling fresh straw to delight in, mini tractors to pedal, a wooden adventure set to climb, clamber, swing high, slide down and hide under and there’s huge tractor wheels to bounce about on. And just opposite is a lovely picnic spot, should the Cumbrian sun grace us with her rays.
