‼️⭐Grown-ups Only Event - GOING AHEAD AS PLANNED⭐‼️

We've had a few enquiries asking if our grown-ups only event will still be going ahead tomorrow. We can confirm that the event will still go ahead, with slight changes to our events schedule to accommodate animal welfare 😊

There will be plenty of refreshments available including ice cold drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) ice creams, hot dogs, burgers and tasty treats 😋

The perfect way to end the week with a summer evening stroll around the farm 🐑🦙🐮

☀️🧊Keeping our animals cool during the heatwave🧊☀️

It’s important to check our animals regularly and help them keep cool during the hot weather.

For smaller animals we use ice packs/blocks. For bigger animals such as horses they get hose baths and for field animals such as alpacas and goats they get ice blocks with tasty treats frozen inside 🧊😋
