Can I bring a picnic? We will be serving delicious takeaway food from our hen house restaurant and kiosk which includes all your favourites; light bites, cakes, sandwiches, ice cream, coffee, drinks, and much more.
We have a range of picnic tables in the farm park, with little ones for the children too! These are available on the front lawns, in the main yard, under the eaves of the Hen House Restaurant and in the Small Barn (please be mindful this is closed over the winter months to allow for the build of our magical Christmas Barn). In sunny weather, we will provide parasols for shade. Picnics are not permitted in the Hen House Restaurant.
We sometimes get asked if animal contact is safe? Children and animals can be unpredictable but our Animal Care and Hygiene is really important to us. Cleanliness and welfare rule at Farmer Palmer’s!
For more info re. handwashing and hygiene see this leaflet.
UPDATE: We actively encourage you to wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap if you have touched high customer touchpoints, any of our animals, or their enclosures.
It is advised that pregnant women do not come into contact with the placenta of newly born lambs during the lambing season, as it is the placenta that carries the risk of Toxoplasmosis.
At Farmer Palmer’s Farm Park, our ewes give birth to their lambs out in the field and are only brought into the animal barn when completely dry, therefore it is safe to visit the farm while you are pregnant. If you have any further questions please just give us a call on 01202 622 022 or read our blog post on this topic.
Do our animals live here until old age? Yes, almost all of Farmer Palmer’s animals have a home for life here. We treat them as our extended family. Cared for every day and the team know their individual personalities. We work closely with our vets for all of their vaccinations and health care.
Yes! Route 40 bus from Poole to Swanage will drop you at the end of our driveway! Full bus timetables can be found on the More Bus website.

Sorry, we do not allow dogs into the park. We do have two kennels available where you can leave your dog during your visit. We can provide a bowl of fresh water and a padlock for you to use. You are welcome to visit your pet as many times as you like throughout the day. We have dog beds and bedding to borrow and we also sell Staglers antler dog chews in our shop, a great long-lasting treat!
We have a full daily timetable of Animal Events and Demonstrations for you to enjoy. The timetable includes lots of opportunities to feed our animals, but please do not feed them outside of these set demonstration times. Our animals have a carefully balanced diet and it’s not good for them to ‘snack’ in between meals. Human food is not suitable for them. In the summer months we grow Maize, please do not feed this to our animals either. Our Animal Barn team are responsible for the feeding of our animals, they may occasionally give Maize as a treat but this is arranged as part of their routine.
Our indoor bouncy castle will be open all year round.
The outdoor bouncy castle will be up (inflated) unless the weather conditions make it unsuitable for use, for example; if it’s too windy, wet, hot, or icy. We will usually take our outdoor bouncy castle down between October and February for health and safety reasons, along with its annual clean.
Sorry, no. All children (under the age of 16) must be accompanied by an adult. Adult supervision is required to ensure children visiting the farm park are kept safe and cared for under the control of an adult so as not to harm themselves, other visitors, animals, or the farm park fixtures and fittings.
