About Jimmy's Farm and Wildlife Park

Jimmy’s Farm & Wildlife Park is an amazing place where you can meet all kinds of animals, from pigs to polar bears! It’s owned by TV presenter Jimmy Doherty, who loves animals and nature. Explore the butterfly house, say hello to the bears, fly high on bouncy pillows and even hand-feed some of the animals, like goats and sheep at the Rare Breeds Farm!

Jimmy’s Farm & Wildlife Park believes that everyone should be able to enjoy the wonders of nature, which is why they’ve started a charity called Space for the Wild to help protect animals and their homes.

Whether you're feeding farm animals, exploring new worlds of exotic animals, or eating a delicious meal in The Barn Restaurant, there's always something fun to do at Jimmy’s Farm & Wildlife Park! - Go fishing with Dolly during most school holidays and some weekends in the summer. - Seasonal events - Restaurant on site

Meet Exotic Animals

At Jimmy's Farm & Wildlife Park, families can get up close to an array of fascinating animals, from meerkats and capybaras to rare breeds of farm animals and exotic creatures like tapirs and wallabies. It's a fun and educational experience for kids and adults alike!

Enjoy The Adventure Playgrounds & Nature Trails

Explore the park's fantastic adventure playgrounds, perfect for children to burn off energy, or take a stroll along the scenic nature trails. These are packed with opportunities to discover local wildlife and enjoy the great outdoors.

Visit Europe's Largest Polar Bear Reserve

Jimmy's Farm & Wildlife Park is home to Europe’s largest polar bear reserve, offering a unique opportunity for families to witness these incredible creatures in a specially designed habitat.
