Summer on the Farm – for the best summer days out

19 July - 3 September

We believe that the best summer days out should be a time for outdoor adventures, so go wild here on the farm!  Stroll through our brand-new Deer Meadow and hand-feed the deer, play I-spy on a tractor trailer ride, and let the kids cool off in the splash pool. There is so much to explore across the farm – and it’s all included in one great value ticket. Adventure awaits!

SPECIAL OFFER!  Double the fun. Visit in August and enjoy a FREE return visit on us! Returns can be redeemed any day up to 3 September (excluding 30 August only). A voucher will be issued to you at check-in.

Summer Splash Pool

Until 3 September

Our super popular summer splash pool has returned! The pool is open for 30-minute splash sessions at intervals throughout the day, right through the summer - ideal for cooling off when the weather gets hot! And.....splash pool sessions are included for FREE in your standard admission price!

Sessions must be pre-booked at the same time as your admission tickets. Please select one session only, as spaces are limited. We highly recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment. Check our splash pool FAQs for more information before booking.

Harvest Hoedown

Join us for an exciting, toe-tapping end to the summer! Our Harvest Hoedown is giving family festival vibes, with live music into the evening and headline Taylor Swift tribute! Plus, apple pressing demos, foodie stalls, tractor trailer rides, fete games & so much more!

Hogshaw School of Witchcraft & Wizardry

For a fantastical Halloween day out, with pumpkins, potions, creepy crawlies, owls & so much more....head this way!

We had a lovely afternoon at the farm with our granddaughter. She really enjoyed getting close to the animals and playing in the sand.

A lovely place for children. Not so big that you have to rush around all the activities to get everything done but plenty there to keep you going for a nice day out. I'd say this is best suited to families with children in primary school and younger.

It’s a couple of years since I visited the farm and I have to say I was really impressed with the new activities. My grandchildren aged 4 and 10 absolutely loved the new sand and water area. They had so much fun playing there with two other children. We were also really impressed with the new sika deer enclosure and the tractor and trailer ride. They loved feeding the animals, grooming the donkeys and watching the reindeer. Thank you Hogshaw Farm, we won’t leave it 2 years until we’re back again!

Fantastic place to visit - loads of animals, really interactive with it's talks, walk-through's and feeding, and lots of kids play areas too. It's also very picturesque, and has a decent cafe and shop. A great day out, fab value for money!

We booked for a Deer Meadow Breakfast Experience, and were extremely honoured to be the first guests to enjoy a private session of feeding the deer. We spent 40 minutes feeding the deer with leaves and treats, and was accompanied by a very knowledgeable and friendly staff of the farm (forgive me I've forgotten her name!) who also took loads of photos for us. The deers here live very happily, and are not afraid of human contact. I'd 100% recommend this special experience to anyone loving cute, hungary deers who would come to you and eat treats from your palm 🙂

Highly recommend this farm to everyone! Clean and spacious — no crowds, everyone has their own space. The animals are well cared for and have everything they need. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The food is absolutely delicious! There are bins everywhere, the toilets are clean, and the farm is well thought out for both sunny and rainy days. Everything 10/10 — bravo! 😊👏
