LET'S BEGIN WITH THE ANIMALS
Around February Half-Term is when the ever-popular Lamb Feeding starts! This is followed up in April by the Pig Racing - yep, you heard right. :) Ever milked a cow? Well, now's your chance with the Hand and Parlour Milking.
Then there's the Pony Grooming and the amazing Heavy Horses where you can get to meet Charm, the gentle and magnificient Clydesdale. Not to mention the glorious small herd of Highland Cattle. And let's not forget the smaller animals like the rabbits and guinea pigs. Park Hall often have baby rabbits which are a sight to see!
Oops, just been nudged by one of the ducks to mention the Duck Pond where you can see Geese too! Being a farm, chickens and a few cockerels will be in residence in the Stableyard.
KIDS' LANDROVERS & DRIVING SCHOOL
There's a fabulous off-road track for kids in specially designed Landrover Defender replicas, ideal for children between 6-14 years. The Children's Driving School is unique in this area in giving children an early opportunity to "learn to drive" in a purpose-built environment.
Fun for all ages, you can also have a go with the Mechanical Diggers and practice your sand-shifting abilities. :)

Fabulous day out - kids love it! Great on wet days too. Too much to do in one day.
We have a 7 and 9 year old. They both loved it. Great inside and outside activities. V. friendly staff. Loved it!
It is the ideal place to take children. There are all sorts of different activities which are very good and you can also buy a yearly pass, which works out very reasonable.
Fun, full day out, great stuff, plenty to see and do. Thank you. x
A wonderful, value for money, day out for the whole family. We have loved this place for years and come regularly.

My children would live at Park Hall Farm if they could (and with the year pass, practically do!) - they love the wide range of activities and I know that we will be coming here for many years. With friendly staff too, its a real gem!
Park Hall Farm, Oswestry is a brilliant day out for the whole family.
Park Hall Farm Oswestry - Great family fun and friendly staff.
A great family fun day, lots to learn not only about farming, but also Victorian life and the Iron Age. An ideal way to support the work the children are doing in school as well as a chance for them to get up close to the animals in a safe and friendly environment. Plenty of things to do inside and outside to cater for all the British weather, with new attractions being added with the changing of the seasons. Brilliant value!
