We were there on the last day of the season for the Threshing weekend and our grown up children enjoyed it just as much as when they were toddlers although no freshly hatched egg for the youngest this time - more than made up for by her seeing the Fowler steam engine - made in Leeds.
More to see now than in the past.

A wonderful day aptly summed up by our Grand Daughter as 'Animal heaven'. The history of farming together with a range of interesting farm machinery and a fantastic cafe made the whole experience one we can't wait to repeat.

Best to go in Summer as can be a bit muddy. Kids love the animals & there's lots of History for adults. Fantastic watching cart horses tilling the land. Your hosts are all dressed in period costumes and cooking period meals. They are all very knowledgeable. Great fun !!

Having visited here many years ago when our boys were young and hubby busy working on a building there we decided to take our friends here for the morning as they were looking at breeding shire horses back in SA and we thought it a good place for some hands on time. We had a very pleasant morning looking round and watching some of the demonstrations. It was a Monday and very quiet which meant they had plenty of time to chat with us and our friends thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed their personal talk about the horses

Best to go in Summer as can be a bit muddy. Kids will love the being able to be up close to the animals and the baby Piglets were great & there's lots of History for adults, even I learned things I didn`t learn at school.. Fantastic watching cart horses tilling the land.
Had lunch in the cafe lovely meal all locally sourced.

We live just down the road from the farm and last year it turned in to our second home. My son (aged 2) goes free and I bought a season ticket, so this was a place we visited weekly. It is lovely seeing the piggies grow up. Meeting the shire horses and dusty. There are so many things to see and so much fun to be had. Looking forward to it reopening in march.

To be honest I didn't have very high hopes for this venue until I got there. Straight away the atmosphere is different and you want to explore.
Even as an adult I loved trying on the different hats and caps and I had a good go practising to milk a cow!
We watched a demonstration with a wheel being made and it was remarkable. The heat coming off the fire was incredible! I felt like I learnt a lot even though I was having so much fun!
