Some of our animal experiences take place in areas that require a longer walk, including sections along uneven and occasionally elevated paths. We recommend considering this when booking. We do have a mobility scooter available to hire – please contact us at info@hogshawfarm.co.uk to arrange this in advance.
Farm Keeper activities and included animals will change according to the season, animal availability and health needs.
The welfare of our animals always comes first. Occasionally, experiences may need to be cancelled or altered due to adverse weather, animal temperament or welfare considerations. If your experience is unable to go ahead, we’ll be happy to offer you the opportunity to rebook for another available date or time. Please note that refunds are not available in these circumstances.

Spaces and times are limited, so book soon to avoid disappointment
