Hi Natasha,
Yes we will definitely have piglets for you to cuddle in August. We can’t wait to see you for a day of farmyard fun!
Is there anything to do this week with children aged from 12 -3 years
Hi Toni, We have lots of fun activities that any age person can take part in, for example bottle feeding, goat walking and pig racing! We have lots of animals around the farm that can be stroked, cuddled and hand fed. Our pets and pigs area is open all day for unlimited cuddles. Lots of play equipment to enjoy – We can not wait to see you on the farm soon!
I have only just saw photos of a friend’s visit to the farm. I’d love to take my grandchildren to visit.
When is the best time please?
Anytime! We would love to see you on the farm soon.
Please remember to book your tickets online before arriving.
hi…I am looking at coming in December between 23 and 27. The main thing we want to do at penny well is hold a piggy or feeding any animal. Do we need book the piggy cuddles or animal feeding?
many thanks
Hi Maria, We are open until the 24th Dec for our Christmas experience only, these Christmas tickets need to be booked online, We then close until 11th Feb 2023. If it is just piggy cuddles and animal feeding that you want to do while at the farm, it will mean waiting until we open again in Feb 2023.
Hi, are dogs allowed please?
Unfortunately we do not allow dogs onto the farm, but we do have some kennels in our top car park that you are welcome to use while you visit us.
Are you open on Bank Holiday Monday 28th?
Yes we are! In fact we are open everyday from now until 29th October 🙂
Is it a good place to visit if it is a wet weather day? Thanks.
Hi there! When the weather is wet, we will still run all our activities and open all our rides and attractions as normal. Most of our activities will be held under shelter or indoors where possible. Lots of the animals are indoors in the cosy Main Barn, or under shelter in stables around the farm. Our Pets & Piggy cuddles area is inside, and there is an indoor play barn with our bouncy castles. There are also some play areas that are under shelter such as the Tractor Village. Both the Rainbow Railway Ride and Tractor Trailer Ride have ‘roofs’. Being outdoors will be required to travel between areas, and to use some of the play equipment and rides etc., so we recommend dressing for the weather. If it does rain for more than 30 minutes consistently during your visit, we will also give you a free wet weather return ticket to visit the farm again for free, within the next 7 days 🙂 This is a gesture of goodwill, as we understand that although all of our attractions will be open as normal, lots of rain can put a little bit of a dampener on your day. We hope to see you at the farm soon!
