Despite being a freezing cold day it was throughly enjoyable experience...we had a wonderful day (food and drink really good too)...the demonstration with birds of prey was really entertaining.

A really nice place to see animals and learn about them, as an adult child I very much enjoyed coming here. Very reasonably priced and with a great number of animals to see.

The team here has hosted birthday parties for us two years running. They do a great job and have a really good range of activities for the kids. You could easily spend a whole day here

The Christmas experience was great this time around. The only downside to our visit was the pouring rain, but that can't be helped by anyone!

Always good day out. The Christmas event was much more smoothly run this year as less long queues through the lead up to santa, elves all friendly and felt slightly less busy on our time slot compared to last year (although fully booked)

We went to see Farmer Christmas at Hogshaw Farm today and it was fantastic! We live locally and love going to the farm but thought we have not been to see Father Christmas there for a few years. It was the most magical morning, Father Christmas knew my daughters names and took time to talk to them both, we took our own pictures and videos while in there and Father Christmas' Elves even took photos for us and they were also amazing. We did not feel rushed at all while there and it's the best experience we have had for years and would highly recommend. We will be going again next year as it was just so special and intimate. I will not forget the look on my eldest daughters face while Father Christmas was talking away to her... it really was priceless.

By far the best farm to visit for children and adults alike. A fair price for a huge amount of fun, activities, and animals, with friendly staff and good coffee! We've been a few times, and next time will be getting an annual pass. If I could rate it higher, I would.

I would love to give The team at HogShaw Farm and Wildlife Park more then a 5 star rating as the experience we got on our visit was truly amazing nothing seemed to much from the moment I phoned to ask a question to the moment we left. The entire team made the day and experience that will never be forgot and made the day truly special for the children. Would highly recommend going all ready checking dates for our next visit

It was lovely to feed the young goats. The sand pit was fantastic. It kept 3 generations of engineers busy!

Great place tbh. But watch the soft play area as it is in need of some tlc.. its not that soft in places unfortunately and my littleun came away with a war wound. Nothing drastic but hopefully the farm owners will see this review and respond accordingly and let you all know they are addressing it.. (feel free to reach how @hogfarmfarm and I'll let you know where to look) Apart from that minor issue it was superb, everything else is well kept and clean and super fun.. all in all a great day and we will return regardless.
