May Open Day

On Sunday, May the 1st, we will be having our first open day in 2 years!


This will be a free, family friendly event for all the family, including the dogs! There will be lots to see and do throughout the day offering something for everyone.

We have a large variety of stall holders who will be selling their items, a number of different displays including historic vehicles and farming machinery, a Victorian funfair, and a selection of different demonstrations which includes a pony and donkey parade, a horsebox demonstration, a falconry display, gun dogs, agility groups, Raw Samba performance and more! 

As always we will have a number of different activity sheets for everyone to get involved with, which are completely free and can be found at the Meet and Greet Hut. There will be hot and cold food and drinks available in Grazers Café with plenty of seating inside, outside in the courtyard, and also around the wildlife area with plenty of picnic benches. 

And of course the most important thing, lots of donkeys and ponies to meet and say hello to!

The Open Day will be May 1st, 10:30am - 4pm. There is no need to book to come to the event, but we do need to point out that there is limited car parking spaces, but there will also be a park and ride service available on the day. We also advise wearing sensible clothing and footwear, as the ground may be uneven in places and the weather is unpredictable.

For more information on the event and further details please visit the What's On page.

We hope to see you there!
