Donkey Rides
Let your children enjoy a donkey ride at our Donkey Depot. We have lots of donkeys on the farm of all colours and sizes and they all take it in turn to give rides to the children. Whatever the weather, this activity will be open all day. Tickets can be purchased on arrival at the main entrance or from our snack shop or café. Tickets cost £2 each. There is no lower age limit, adults may just need to walk alongside very young children. There is a height restriction for Donkey Rides, so children’s height may need to be measured on arrival at the main entrance.

Zoo Zone talks
In our Zoo Zone mammal talks you get the chance to watch all of our amazing mammals get their morning or afternoon feeds whilst learning a lot of interesting facts! These talks are a great way to get a good look at some of the mammals we keep such as African crested porcupines, lemurs and meerkats, as they all love to come right to the front of their enclosures to enjoy their food!

Meet the Eagle Owls
Get to meet one of our four Eurasian eagle owls we keep on the farm. These Owls are the second largest owls on the planet and are a really impressive sight! During these talks you will learn a lot more about these amazing animals, get hands on and up close to one as they visit everyone in the talk, and get the opportunity to get a photo with the owl at the end! (weather permitting).
