What a fantastic place for people of any age lots of history with the building's which have lovely exhibitions in them or lots of different animals. Highlight for me was watching a farrier putting new shoes on one of the shire horses.The cafe in the old schoolhouse was very good value with indoor and outdoor seating. Seeing whrre a tv series was filmed in real life made it even better. Will definately come back for another visit, highly recommend

Lovely but nothing like as much activity as I expected. More a museum, or showpiece than an actual working farm.. My expectations were probably daft... I visualised a real farm...<br>The high point for our grandchildren was working the bellows for the farrier and :having a horseshoe to take home. Great idea. Lots of interesting info. Good lunch in the cafe.

Even on a Sunday in August our visit didn't feel crowded. Lots for children to do (helping feed the lambs, or hold new baby chicks was going down a treat when we were there). Wonderful cafe in the old school, serving excellent light lunches and homemade cakes. Well worth a visit.

My husband and I visited this historic farm 17/8/19 for the 1940's event. A warm welcome from staff & we began pottering around, following the paths. Many people - visitors & staff were wearing clothes in the 1940 style. It felt so natural & everyone blended. There was even a place where one could have hair done in the style of the period.
We were slightly concerned about having to wait a long time for food, having read a t'advisor review for the preceeding day. We'd packed some edibles to leave in car - just in case. We need not have worried. I sat in my borrowed w'chair at an outside table by The Old School House whilst my husband waited in a queue to order food. As he returned to the table, about 20mins later, a waitress followed carrying our lunch - yummy jacket potatoes etc.. If any are concerned about waiting time...it IS a Victorian Farm - a conveyor belt type food system just would not suit.
I am a Blue Badge holder & was grateful for the borrowed w'chair. I could sit when nec. or use for stability when going over some cobbled areas. It was great to see so many free ranging chickens scurrying around everywhere. A flock of geese happy to share their space with visitors. Goats, piglets, calves etc. all looked very well.
We both pickd up on the fact that whilst many children were around, there were no tantrums nor screaming from any. The tranquility of the place had worked it's magic on everyone.
Thank you to all concerned for creating such a place of interest.
We will return.

We had an amazing day here, kids totally happy all day. Long queues for food at lunchtime, but the cakes and drinks we had were very fresh and tasty. What made it even better, there was a whole day of a felting workshop, by Tillyteadance, and my daughter and i created something beautiful to take home, . Maxine, who ran the felting, could not have been more patient and made it all seem so simple. The things she makes to sell are superb, very inspirational. Thankyou for an amazing day!!!

Fantastic day out with the family. Plenty to see and do and lots of opportunities to get hands on with the animals. We enjoyed sampling the cakes and lunches in the cafe too.
From my 6 year old “this is the best farm I’ve been to, it’s got all the animals you could ever want and lots of great events too!”
We got a groupon voucher making it even better value for money.
