THINGS TO DO

Activities on the farm

Most mornings you will have the opportunity to come and watch the calves having their morning milk and to learn about life on a farm. Whilst we no longer have our diary cows there is plenty to learn about the farm.
We still hold our social evenings and have our campfires.
The chickens are a big attraction, where the children can collect the eggs or sitting and stroking the chickens is a good pastime. Harry and Hermione are still firm favourites and roam around the farm.
In the summer holidays we have a campfire twice a week after Pizza and Lasagne/Pasty night. Who doesn't love a fire? Chatting,watching the flames and toasting marshmallows while the children play and make new friends. Whilst you sit, relax and enjoy a glass of wine you can watch the children play in the sand pit or enjoy a cricket match and wheelbarrow races.
