Acton Scott Historic Working Farm
Latest Reviews
Update April 2021: Acton Scott is open again and we had a fabulous visit this week. Fascinating to have basket weaving demo from David and then have Tom the wonderful blacksmith make us our own horseshoe while we watched. A great time to visit now as there are baby goats, piglets and chicks and the lovely café is open, too.
Great working farm with friendly staff and engaging exhibits and animals. Lovely gift shop with a range of unusual items from local artists. We attended a super Halloween event with DJ gs and storytelling which was excellent. Going to go back on spring to see the heavy horses and maybe take a craft course.

Had a wonderful time at the farm. A lovely place with lots of animals that you can get up and close with. All of the staff were really friendly, informative and helpful.
Due to covid regs we pre booked. It was really well managed and non intrusive yet still interactive!!
Highly recommend a visit!

Loved our visit today. Always a joy to see animals and the staff were so knowledgeable and helpful. We particularly enjoyed the shire horses and talking to Tom the farrier who was absolutely fascinating.

A great afternoon out with authentic machinery, old buildings, fantastic animals (many ducks, chickens, pigs, calves). Covid measures being followed carefully, a handful of buildings not open as number of staff is reduced but didn't detract from the experience at all.

Fabulous day! Lovely place! Super friendly people. Lots of great animals. Beautiful setting. We will be going again. Great for adults and children of all ages.

Over priced for what is provided. Our visit was post covid and I feel they should have reduced the price as there was very little for children to do.

Just as wonderful as ever! Excellent Covid measures in place, plenty of room to practice social distancing and the staff are as warm and friendly as before.

Our grandkids (6 & 5) had the most fantastic time. We went in the afternoon at a quiet time which meant they could get involved in everything. Operated the bellows for the blacksmith and he gave them the horse shoe. Helped collect eggs from ducks and hens - mammoth task there! Rode the cart horses. Fed the geese, ducks and hens. Threshed the corn. Lots of other things. A truly memorable day. We were very lucky because it was late and the weather wasn’t great so they got a lot of attention but I know they will remember it for the rest of their lives. Wonderful staff. Thank you so much. They ask to go back regularly - wanted to see the lambs but then came CV19😕

Excellent customer service and so much to see and interact with, animals, farm equipment surrounded by beautiful countryside. Great day out for young and old. A happy, informative, relaxed day out to share with the family.

Reasonably priced, fantastic, friendly staff, amazing animals and things to do. Would recommend this place to anyone with an interest in historic farming and somewhere the kids can get stuck in with the farm tasks. Good coffee and cafe too!

This was outstanding. Our guide, Rob, was so interesting and made sure that people at the back or slow to catch up heard everything.

So good to be able to spend time at Acton Scott and curses to the lockdown as they were planning to be open until December. Their maximum capacity means it never feels over busy and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Roll on December 2

Fantastic

The farm was well worth visiting. Lots of interesting things to see and knowledgeable staff and volunteers to tell us about them. However, our day was marred by the attitude of the chef in the cafe, who shouted at us and was extremely rude when we politely enquired if our, fairly basic, order had been forgotten after a long wait.

Fantastic day out, lovely friendly people. Loved seeing the animals run free. Would recommend anyone with kids to go here.

A slice of rural life which contributes much to urban understanding.

The farm was lovely although limited due to Covid. All the people working /volunteering were great too. Unfortunately we had an appalling experience with the chef. On politely enquiring if we'd been forgotten 40 minutes after ordering, he was disgracefully rude, shouting that he didn't care, wasn't interested, and to go away!! A thoroughly vile man, inexcusable behaviour. I recommend taking a picnic.
