Farm animals up close Experience

Join us for our behind-the-scenes Farm Animals Up Close Experience, offering children and adults alike the chance to get closer to life on the farm and spend time with our wonderful animals.

This hands-on experience is suitable for anyone aged 6 and over, and there's no upper age limit — in fact, many adults enjoy taking part just as much as children!

During your visit, you'll step inside the animal paddocks, meet the animals we care for here at Blacker Hall Farm and learn more about their daily routines from our farming team. There'll be plenty of opportunities to pet, feed and interact with the animals, as well as time for photographs and questions throughout the session.

Activities may vary slightly from day to day depending on the animals and what's happening on the farm, but every experience is designed to be engaging, informative and great fun.

To ensure everyone gets the most from their visit, group sizes are limited to just six participants. This allows plenty of one-to-one time with both the farmer and the animals, creating a more personal and memorable experience.

Whether you're an animal lover, have a curious mind, or simply want to spend some time on the farm, this is a wonderful opportunity to experience a different side of Blacker Hall.
