With up to ten hilarious shows, all with an undercover viewing area, visitors will enjoy the most EWE-nique events ever seen in the UK. Shows include the world-famous Sheep Race – place a bet on your favourite sheep and jockey; the Sheep Show - where sheep from around the world strut their stuff on stage; the Sheep and Duck Trials, Sheep Shearing and the Lamb Feeding show.
If you fancy a bit of outdoor play, you can bounce on the giant jumping pillows, ride the Twister, hop on a Swan Pedalo or swing boat or steer your own tractor around the track. The younger ones and toddlers will love the gentle rides like the Piggy tractor, the Honeypot Bears, the mini bouncing pillows or hop on the train at Eweston Station and circle the lake.
Children can enjoy the magic of a real farm – newborn lambs around throughout the year, and other baby farm animals are on hand to feed and cuddle at Pets’ Corner. Meet the resident animals in the Animal Barn, there are sheep, lambs, goats, pigs, puppies, chicks, bunny rabbits, alpacas, donkeys and more!

There is also a Combat Zone for those looking for adventure. And “Barnwood Bears” for the little ones, a NEW Woodland Playground in the woods offering loads of interactive outdoor activities.
If you are looking for a tasty bite to eat, then visit The Barn Cafe serving delicious food and the best cakes ever. The Bo Beep’s Café in Ewetopia has a variety of fast food, cold and hot drinks, and snacks. Or, if you fancy bringing your own there’s a well-maintained picnic area too.
