Young Farmers Experience

Step into the boots of a real young farmer with this hands-on experience designed especially for children aged 8–12! Over an exciting 3-hour session, participants will get up close with a variety of friendly farm animals and learn what it takes to care for them day-to-day.

Children will work with goats, pigs, sheep, and equines, taking part in activities such as feeding, grooming, and assisting with simple farm tasks. It’s a fantastic opportunity to learn where food comes from, understand animal care, and experience life on a working farm.

Guided by experienced staff, every activity is safe, engaging, and packed with fun—helping build confidence, responsibility, and a love for the outdoors.

Important information:

  • Duration: 3 hours
  • Cost: £60 per child
  • Age group: 8–12 years
  • Children must bring their own steel toe cap boots for safety

A memorable, muddy, and meaningful adventure awaits!
