On Saturday 5th October 2024 the Acorn Farm Team are taking on the mount Snowdon walk to raise much needed funds for the farm.

It has always been our philosophy to keep all of our charges to a minimum so that EVERYONE can afford to visit and give their kids a great day out. However, this means we don’t generate large profits that can be invested back into the farm to fund improvements.

If you would like to sponsor us, please head to our JustGiving page or sponsor us in our shop when you visit!

We would like to send a big thank you for everyone’s support!
