Seasonal Events

Unfortunately due to staff shortages and the uncertainty of what the winter months may bring we have made a decision not to hold any Halloween or Christmas activities this year. 

Hopefully next year we will be back bigger and better.  Sorry for any inconvenience!

Activity Days

On select dates during the Easter and/or summer school holidays, we run either our Be a Farmer for the Day, Horse Day, Poultry Day and Pig Day events. These give children between the ages of 8 and 12 the opportunity to explore their interest in farm life and learn more about farming!

During weekends, bank holidays and Knowsley school holidays, we have horse rides and small animal petting sessions available. To find out more about these activities, please click on the links to the left.
