How can you ensure the event will be safe? ↓
Since the COVID-19 pandemic began our main priority has been to ensure you can visit safely and Christmas at the Farm event will be no different. We've made some adjustments to the event to ensure there is less interaction with people and we've dramatically reduced the number of visitors to the farm each day to help with social distancing.

What parts of the farm park will be open? ↓
The Farm Park will open as much of the farm as possible, however, due to the time of year many paddocks and fields will likely be rested, free from animals grazing. Animals will still be visible around the farm buildings and barns. The Farm Park Cafe and ice-cream parlour will be open.

What animals will I see? ↓
On an Winterday, the majority of our animals will be keeping dry in their indoor barns. You'll be able to see lots of farm animals including the cows, sheep, alpacas, llamas, goats, calves, chickens, donkeys, emus and the horse.

Wrap up warm and bring your waterproof clothes and we're sure you'll have a wonderful time and make precious memories that last a lifetime. If we have very extreme weather we may need to cancel and we'll be sure to be in touch with you by email (as soon as possible) if this happens.

Can I bring my own food? ↓
We'll have lots of delicious food and drink options available to buy on the day but you are more than welcome to bring your own if you would prefer to. We just ask that you don't eat this inside the Farm Park Cafe.

What if I can't visit because I'm self-isolating or in the case of a local or national lockdown because of COVID-19? ↓
Generally, our tickets are non-refundable and non-transferrable but we are aware that there are some COVID measures that may mean that you need to cancel at short notice. Also, there may be a risk that we have to cancel if affected by a local or national lockdown. In both of these situations, we'll be in touch to discuss ways that we can exchange your booking for another visit in the future.
