A lovely family day out. My granddaughter really enjoyed seeing all the animals. So much to see and do! We enjoyed feeding the goats and all the animals seemed happy in their surroundings. The deer were beautiful too.

A brilliant day out for all the family, from 18 month olds to 85 years old the whole family will enjoy, a jam packed full day of talks, shows and activities as well as petting area and goat bottle feeding to name a few full list in pictures below. Brilliant family run business that seems to be constantly reinvesting in its growth. Great indoor picnic area with big bouncy castles to keep the kids busy while you eat in peace.

What an absolutely fantastic place. I can’t say enough good things about Pennywell Farm. We visited during the Easter break and had a fantastic time. Don’t be deceived by a seemingly small size, there is so much to see and do here it is definitely a full day out. Every single member of staff here was incredibly friendly and helpful which really just added to a great family day out. Even the sausage rolls and pasties from the cafe were top notch. If you like farm parks and enjoy the opportunity to get a bit hands on, then don’t miss out on a visit to Pennywell Farm.
