Amazing Family Days Out
Smelly might be the first thing you think of when you hear the word ‘ferret’, but to us it’s ‘fun, loving and cuddly!’. We are home to lots of ferrets, many of which take part in our daily Ferret Playtime sessions.
You’ll get to take your ferret around our fun obstacle course, watch them play in the ballpit and take them for a short walk on their harness.
At our farm park, guests are welcomed into the company of diverse animals, including goats, pigs, llamas, and alpacas. Whether it’s a tranquil picnic with the goats, feeding the pigs, or enjoying a llama walk, there’s a lots of animal handling experiences waiting!
Come create lasting memories in the charming embrace of our furry friends, where every encounter promises a unique adventure.
Please see our handy calendar above for our dates.
Please note, we are now closed for the season. Please contact us to arrange a private visit.

We are able to cater for larger, group or school visits. We can provide your group with a personalised tour and set of activities best suited to your needs.
We must stress that as an animal welfare charity the safety of our animals comes first. Please don’t be offended if we can’t always offer certain activities. Usually this is for a reason, I.E. we believe the animal has been held enough or is looking tired.
We’ve also got plenty of other farmyard animals to see including goats, pigs, alpacas & chickens. Some of which you are able to feed! *feed bags have a small charge*
We’re close to the rural town of Spilsby in Lincolnshire. Nestled away on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds.
