My girlfriend and I attended the Adults Only Farm Experience Evening for our date night.
Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Christina who welcomed us to the Farm and directed us into a field to meet and take some selfies with various animals who were being looked after by the other members of staff who would be accompanying us for the evening. We noticed that those attending as part of their birthday, anniversary, etc. were given a rosette, which is a nice touch.
Once everyone had arrived Christina led the group around the Farm where we partook in various feeding and hands-on experiences with various animals. I won't go into too much detail as to which animals we got to see, so as not to ruin the surprise for others. In total, we interacted with 10+ different animals.
At the end of the tour, we were offered a beverage and a sweet treat to round off an amazing evening.
Christina and all the other members of staff were very friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable about all the animals on the farm.
Overall the experience was fantastic and worth the price of admission. The fact that they offer an "Adults Only Evening" experience is a great idea.
I am definitely going to go back, as well as purchase gift cards for friends and family to go and have a...
Read moreLovely experience thoughtfully hosted and well organised. I took public transport (train is much faster than bus for approx same price) & arrived early. I expected to wait at the gate until “start time”, but was kindly invited in to use the bathroom & they opened the food van (see photo for 2024 menu & prices) to make me a cup of tea. On the day I went, the weather was glorious, but the animals which can be held are in pens under cover and there is an additional wet-weather shelter for enjoying snacks in comfort. They’ve thought of everything, as there is also a room for Birthday parties, and cute backgrounds for photos. Christina & Hannah made sure everyone had a turn feeding and holding animals if they wanted to. They also offered, from time to time, to take photos using your own phone, to make sure you have memories to take away. The session started with a quick safety talk & the commentary was interesting & informative. The highlight, of course, was cuddling the smaller animals and hand feeding the larger ones. All the animals and birds seemed very content, some of them very excited to be fed treats! Highly recommend this experience for all ages, & the pathways around the main area seem wheelchair accessible too. (Parents obviously need to supervise...
Read moreWow! I went along to one of the adults only evening experiences and it really was so much fun. On arrival you are welcomed by Christina and a quick health and safety/where everything is intro is given. You are then left to see some donkeys, reindeer and ducks, which you can feed and interact with! Once everyone has arrived, you are called back to the entrance and the guided tour begins. The staff are all so wonderfully kind and knowledgable and it’s obvious how much they all love and care for the animals. All animals are so well natured and are very interested in the visitors (I’m sure they know we come bearing plenty carrots and other fine bits for them!). The staff take notice and keep an eye on everyone making sure both humans and animals are always happy and comfortable. You have plenty of opportunities to hold, cuddle, play with, feed and brush the animals. There is no rush during the experience and it’s just a lovely environment throughout! To top the experience off, you have a choice of drink and snack, highly recommend the hot chocolate!
I will definitely be back and have already been non stop telling everyone I know how...
