We are trying a new format trying to avoid large groups and there will be four tour guides instead of two - bear with us !

Refreshments available from 11am. BBQ from noon till 2:30pm. Egg collecting and other free activities.

There will be a disinfectant foot dip, please wear waterproof footwear.

Mostly the tours are on concrete but not everywhere is suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs, some buildings have limited access.

No dogs please.

Free parking but we would appreciate a donation of £3 per adult and £1 per child to cover expenses.

If you have any questions about the day - just ask.

We look forward to showing you around. Hopefully there will be lambs, piglets and calves about as well as the older farm animals.
