Get closer to the action

During your visit you’ll be able to see live births up close and personal. Later in the spring, don’t miss the chance to participate in bottle-feeding sessions and hands-on demonstrations.

While it is safe to visit the Farm Park when pregnant, there are a few things that you should be aware of before you enter the Animal Barn.

Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. It normally causes a mild illness in people with healthy immune systems, but it can be problematic during pregnancy because it may harm your baby.

The parasite can be found in meat, cat faeces, unpasteurised goats' milk and the birthing fluid of pregnancy livestock.

Toxoplasmosis is caught by swallowing anything infected with, or contaminated by, the parasite.

There is a risk of catching toxoplasmosis from a pregnant ewe, if, during the process of lambing, infected material enters your eyes, mouth or open cuts. This is very unlikely and we take every care to avoid the contamination of public areas with these fluids, but recommend that you are especially careful to wash your hands after entering livestock areas and again before eating or drinking.

If other members of your party are entering the Animal Barn but you'd rather not, there is a seating area next door in the 'Adventure Barn' which is heated and also houses a snack bar serving hot drinks and snacks.

Please speak to your midwife if you have any concerns.

This really is a lovely day out. The Farm is clean and well laid out. The animals look happy and healthy. Lots to do for the children with separate play areas all around. We spent about 5 hours there and the little one didn’t get bored once. Lots of areas to be able to picnic and the food in the restaurant was good quality and not too expensive. Plenty of bathrooms around the farm and places to wash hands after interacting with the animals. All round lovely farm.

Great venue for young children and adults alike! Lovely afternoon spent here with young nieces. Everything very clean and well set out. Good mix of animals, nature bd play equipment to keep attention of a two year old. Feeding the lambs and petting area a hit. Staff very polite be helpful and informative. Toilets clean and plentiful and quality refreshments scattered around the park.

Top day out! My son loved feeding the animals by hand and in particular bottle feeding a lamb. The staff have clearly got the bottle feeding down to a fine art; it was very slickly organised, despite the din create by the hungry animals! The animals are obviously very well cared for. We had a nice lunch in the café. The playground equipment is excellent and there are some nice things to do indoors which, given that we visited on a chilly day, provided a good opportunity to warm up.
