Our Arrival & First Impressions

Pennywell farm 🐖

The first stop we made was to sit on the giant Pennywell chair as you make your way to the farm entrance! Then we were greeted by a lovely member of staff who took the time to talk with us about our visit to the farm. Both the children were given a “1st visit” sticker along with a sticker with both their name and age on!

Activities Breakdown

Piggy cuddles
Who’s taking who for a walk 🐐

Well with activites on every 30 mins you will be spoilt for choice!

By far our family favourite activity was the piggy cuddles in the animal barn (my youngest was very upset she couldn’t hold the piglet), we also enjoyed ferret racing, bottle feeding, goat walking (although I think daddy picked a rather large stubborn goat) and cheered on our chosen pigs for the pig racing! 🐖

Food & Drink

There were lots of options for food and drink around the park! We took a picnic with us but did enjoy a little icecream and cake treat! The unicorn cupcakes looked scrummy!

Money-Saving Tip

Take a picnic along with you as there any many different seating options around the park with several covered seating spots.
