Pennywell Ponies Retirement

After 28 years of pony rides at Pennywell, we have taken the decision to retire our remaining ponies. Some have been here for many years and we think they are at an age where they deserve a good rest. We have been unable to find suitable replacements that would not only be safe for our visitors but that would be content to walk around a circuit all day. As a result we can no longer offer pony rides at Pennywell Farm. The good news is that we will keep our miniature pony centre and our ponies and donkeys so that they can still be enjoyed by our visitors. We have also added pony pampering to our list of activities for our visitors and to add some enrichment to the ponies lives. This story appeared on March 21, 2018

Lovely day out, went as a date and there was a surprising amount to see and experience for two grown adults! Just make sure you both enjoy the presence of animals!

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.

Fantastic day out, the best farm park we've been too. Lots of things for the kids to do and the various activities around were entertaining for us adults as well. Will most definitely visit again

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.

It was a fantastic place. We had such a great time. The animals are absolutely adorable, and we can’t wait to come back and give them more cuddles.

Great place to make a family trip to. All kind of entertaining activities, from Piggy races, to Small animal cuddles, to animal feeding, indoor jumping castles, toddler areas, trampolines, shows, and etc. Always a pleasure, whenever I have visited so far. Keep up the good work Pennywell.

Brilliant farm. It was recommended to us by a few friends and it did not disappoint. All of the staff were really friendly and you can tell that all of the animals are loved and well cared for. Lots of activities on all day. Good facilities. Can’t wait to go back.

We visited Pennywell last night for their pumpkin night. It was perfect in every way. Great pizzas and drinks on offer, so many perfect photo opportunities, our kids had fun in the new play area and especially enjoyed roasting marshmallows.
