Accessibility Statement
We are committed to making our petting farm, farm shop, and café as welcoming and accessible as possible for all visitors.
Access and Parking
Designated disabled parking spaces are available on our tarmac car park, close to the main entrance.The site features predominantly flat walking surfaces, with a combination of tarmac and gravel paths, making it easier to navigate for wheelchair users, mobility scooter users, and visitors with pushchairs.
Farm Shop and Petting Barn
Our farm shop and petting barn have wide entranceways that provide easy access for wheelchairs, mobility aids, and pushchairs. We aim to keep internal walkways clear and spacious to allow visitors to move around comfortably.
Café
Our outdoor café patio offers ample space for wheelchair users and families with pushchairs. Ramps provide access from the patio to the adjoining grassed seating area, making it easier to enjoy the outdoor space.
Accessible Toilets
An accessible toilet with baby changing facilities is available on site for the convenience of families and carers.
Assistance Dogs
Registered guide dogs and other recognised assistance dogs are welcome throughout the site, including within the animal areas. We ask that assistance dogs remain under control at all times to help ensure the safety and welfare of both our animals and your dog.
Sensory Information
As this is a working petting farm, some animals can be noisy and there may be natural farm smells throughout the site. Our petting barn is well ventilated and provides plenty of space, allowing visitors to move away from noisier animals if they prefer. If you or someone in your group would benefit from a quieter visit, our team will be happy to advise on quieter times of day where possible.
Assistance
Our team is always happy to help. If you have any questions about accessibility or specific requirements before your visit, please contact us before you arrive and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs. We are continually looking for ways to improve accessibility and welcome feedback from our visitors to help us make everyone’s experience as enjoyable and inclusive as possible.
Visiting During Pregnancy
If you are pregnant, or think you may be pregnant, we recommend that you do not enter the lambing areas or have direct contact with sheep, lambs, goats, goat kids or other animals that have recently given birth.
During lambing season, sheep and goats can carry infections that may pose a risk to pregnancy, even if the animals appear healthy.
For your safety, please:
- Avoid lambing pens and livestock birthing areas.
- Do not handle sheep, lambs, goats, goat kids, or contaminated bedding.
- Wash your hands thoroughly after visiting the farm or touching any animals.
- Follow all safety signs and staff instructions.
If you have any questions, please speak to a member of our team before or during your visit.
