Things to see and do
Meet the animals
One of the highlights of Farmer Palmers, and a lovely experience for all ages, is the opportunity to meet and interact with a wide variety of farm animals. There are both outdoor and indoor animal activities. From cuddly rabbits and guinea pigs to friendly goats and sheep, visitors can feed, pet, and even groom the animals under the supervision of trained staff. Children especially love getting up close to the animals and learning more about their care and habits. The BIG animal fun barn is a must-do! There you can take part in a timetable of hand feeding and meeting the animals.

Farmer Palmers offers a range of hands-on activities for visitors to enjoy. From tractor rides and animal feeding to indoor play areas and sandpits, there is something for everyone at this fun-filled farm park. Did you know at certain times of year you can even bottle-feed lambs- magical memories for all the family.

The farm park also features a café serving delicious homemade cakes and light meals made with locally sourced ingredients. There's also a gift shop selling a range of farm-themed souvenirs and gifts and picnic areas for visitors to relax and enjoy a meal outdoors. Farmer Palmers is committed to promoting sustainable farming practices and educating visitors about the importance of agriculture and animal welfare.
Seasonal Events
A programme of events runs daily and throughout the year, with knowledgeable, friendly staff overseeing them. We think you'll have lots of family fun with Easter egg hunts, pumpkin picking, and Christmas festivities, making it Farmer Palmers a family favourite for seasonal fun.
Outdoor Play
Outdoor fun includes the large outdoor play park with a sand play frame area, slides, pedal go-karts, bouncy castles, and a straw mountain to climb. There are also outside animal pens. There's also a peaceful woodland walking trail adjacent to the river and a maize maze (July to September). We recommend you don't miss the tractor-trailer ride, which is a bumpy experience, and don't forget the Deer Feeding experience, too!
