A great day out whatever your age...

Enjoy a leisurely introduction to rare and traditional farm breeds that are seldom seen today. We keep cattle, sheep, pigs, goats and poultry. You can see young animals suckling and occasionally even being born before your eyes.

You won't see "do not touch" signs anywhere. Farmcraft is very much a "hands on" experience. (We demonstrate the importance of hygiene and washing your hands before eating.)

There is so much to see and experience. Not only will you be able to discover the history and importance of the farm animals we keep, but Farmcraft is an ideal place to explore all the associated environmental subjects from wildlife to geology.

There's plenty of outdoor picnic spots around the farm, as well as indoor space if the weather turns bad.

So young or old you will find the Farmcraft Rare Breed Centre well worth a visit.

Working with schools

Why not arrange a visit for your school to learn about rare breed farm animals and the wildlife of a traditional farm? We can tailor the itinerary for individual parties to ensure each gets the experience it seeks, making it a great day out for everyone.

As of 2011 we have been offering schools residential stays, with activities integrated alongside Key Stage objectives. Should this be something that your school might be interested in taking part in please register your interest and we will get further information over to you.
