Attraction Information

A visit to the multi-award-winning Pennywell Farm is something you’ll never forget! Make memories that last a lifetime as you enjoy a fun-filled experience packed full of animals, hands-on activities, rides, play-time, shows and displays. It’s the biggest activity farm in the South West with a different activity happening every 30 minutes, just listen for the bell! Pennywell is home to over 150 animals and has something for everyone, from pig racing to tractor rides!

Things To Do

Your experience begins with a very warm welcome in the main farmyard where you will be guided through the activity board. We recommend you take a snap of the board on your phone so you know what is happening, wherever you are on the farm! Once the activities begin you can join in as much as you’d like!

Get involved with milking and walking the goats, cheering on the racing ferrets, hand-feeding the herd of Red Deer, collecting eggs from the laying hens and so much more! They promise that you will have never experienced anything quite like the Pennywell Pig Racing phenomenon. This truly unique event is fantastic fun for all the family! Come and cheer on your favourite porker in this Snout to Snout race!

Pennywell Farm is the original breeder and home of the world-famous Pennywell Miniature pig. If you haven’t cuddled a pig before then Piggy Cuddles is for you! Available anytime throughout your entire visit, this is something you just have to experience! Their pet cuddles area will also give you a chance to meet and hold some of their other beautiful pets including rabbits, Guinea pigs, mice and more!

Hundreds of friendly animals are waiting to meet you! From the magnificent and mighty heavy horses to the teeny-tiny mice, and everything in between! Explore the farm and meet the highland cattle, lambs and goat kids, Pennywell Miniature pigs, alpacas, tortoises, and the list goes on!

Grab a net and dip at the Pennywell ponds to discover the wonderful wildlife that lives beneath the surface. Or, wander into some of the paddocks with their miniature ponies and family of miniature donkeys who just love attention from all visitors! Roam through the Goatarama and hand-feed the cheeky goats you might find there.

Fun-filled Activities

Farmyard rides are brought to you, courtesy of tractor power! Enjoy a visit to Old MacDonald’s Farm on the Tractor and Trailer Ride, suitable for all the family - who will you spot en route?

Anyone over the age of 4 will enjoy blasting off from the showfield on their Red Rocket ride, guaranteed to leave you with a smile on your face. Or, why not take a more leisurely ride on the Rainbow Railway which all the family will enjoy!

Let the kids bounce out any excess energy on the trampolines dotted around the farm as well as the HUGE bouncy castles and inflatable slide inside Noah’s Barn. Shoot a winning score on the Crazy Golf course, and see how low you can go!

Let your budding young farmers test their driving skills in the Pennywell Tractor Village and, if you’re feeling energetic, have a go on the assault course (great for fun-loving adults) too! Around the farm, you will find sit-on diggers, sandpits, play equipment and slides as well as a dedicated play village for toddlers to explore.

Food & Drink

Don’t go hungry! They have plenty of coffee and takeaway food and drink stops spread out across the farm. Enjoy a delicious Devonshire cream tea, gorgeous local ice cream, as well as yummy pasties, sausage rolls and stone-baked pizzas from Noah’s Takeaway!

The beautiful Devon countryside offers the perfect backdrop for your farm visit with views reaching out over the Dart Valley and up to Dartmoor. You won’t believe how stunning the Devon scenery is from 650 feet above sea level!

Pennywell is also just 3 miles off the A38, just 30 minutes from Exeter and Plymouth, and 12 miles from Torbay. So, they're easy to find! Just follow the brown tourist signs.
