Bumpy Tractor-Trailer Ride
The bouncy tractor-trailer ride runs at various times throughout the day so please check the daily timetable on arrival. Please queue near the duck pond. There’s a £1 charge for tractor-trailer rides per person (this is to be paid in cash to the driver, change can be obtained from a till point). The Deer Feeding Experience also runs from this area, £2 per person and includes deer feed (please check the timetable for when this event is running). Important: The tractor rides may not be suitable for pregnant women or people with back/joint problems.
Pedal Go-Karts
Farmer Palmer’s go-karts are great fun for both children and grown-ups! Get pedalling around the track for some active fun on the farm. Please take care whilst using the go-karts – they are not bumper cars. Adult supervision is always needed. On busy days please be kind enough to swap over after a complete loop of the track so others can have fun too.
Sand Playground
Sliding, springing, swinging and colourful climbing frames! Farmer Palmer’s Sand Playground holds so many opportunities for adventure and activity. Climb the wooden stairs, whoosh down the slides, sit on the wooden farm animals or try out the big basket swing! Lots of fun for little ones.
Outside Bouncy Castle
When the weather outdoors is fine, Farmer Palmer’s BIG outdoor bouncy castle will be ready and waiting for children to kick off their shoes and climb aboard for bouncy boingy fun! Adult supervision is required at all times. Please note; the outdoor bouncy castle will not be inflated in high winds, wet weather or high heat for health and safety reasons.
Outside Animal Pens
Farmer Palmer’s Farm Park has lots of adorable resident animals who live outside and are waiting to meet you. They are cared for by our dedicated Animal Barn Team. Come and say hello to the perky pigs, radiant rheas, gorgeous goats, gaggling geese, and many mooooo-re! Please do not feed our animals, they have a well-managed diet and human food can upset their stomachs. Always remember to wash your hands and use the hand sanitising stations after touching the animals.
Duck Pond
Duck, duck, quack, quack! Farmer Palmer’s Duck Pond is home to a variety of duck and water fowl species. They love to splash around and show off! Almost all varieties of domestic duck are descended from the mallard, except the Muscovy duck. Watch the ducks waddle in the mud and swim on the pond.
Picnic Areas
There are over 50 picnic tables dotted around the outdoor areas of the farm park, with multiple rubbish/recycling stations. Please put all of your rubbish in the bins provided. You are welcome to bring a picnic to eat outside but kindly please support our restaurant too. We produce delicious, reasonably priced, homemade meals to save you the effort of bringing your own lunch. We even serve breakfast too! Always wash hands before eating.
Straw Mountain
Stacks of straw bales, and super slides keep little ones entertained! This undercover barn gives lots of opportunities for children to climb, crawl, and whoosh! There are small slides, and big slides, low bales and high bales – a whole world of straw to explore! See the beautiful hand-painted mural backdrop by a local artist.
Pig Racing ‘Summer Activity’
Watching the piggies racing is such fun! Encourage them to run by cheering for your winner! Will it be ‘Racing Rosie’, ‘Greedy Gary’, ‘Dizzy Daisy’, ‘Burping Bertie’, or ‘Percy Plodder’ who wins the race? Our pigs don’t like to run in the rain or warm weather so please check the daily timetable to see if this event is running. Sometimes the Animal Barn Team run an alternative ‘Trotter Time’ activity where you can meet and tickle the pigs.
