Old MacDonald has got a great half term gift for all you kids. Realising, as a shrewd old farmer, that it can be a bit chilly at this time of year he has improved our popular indoor play area with lots of new slides and glides, so hurry down to our value for money Farm Park, meet your farmyard favourites plus the Meerkats and other exotic animals, and enjoy your half term with us!

If January 2011 was anything to go by, then you’ll know that all the spring babies arrive early at the farm and it looks like January 2012 will follow the same pattern. So, it just proves that even though it may be chilly outside, spring can never come too early!

Old MacDonald’s Farm now has a total of 4 Lambs at the farm, with the first to greet us on Friday 6th and another 3 following on Saturday 7th January and we’re all sure that these won’t be the last of the spring babies either!

Only 4 more sleeps till Christmas! Don’t forget the ‘Cheepy £2.99 Deal’ ends this Friday so come down to the farm and get into the festive spirit!

We might still be in 2011, but farm keepers are looking forward to the New Year ahead already! In spring 2012, keepers and visitors to the farm, should expect to see some baby Wallabies, known as ‘Joeys’ bouncing about the place and taking comfort in their mothers pouch. Pregnancy for a Wallaby lasts for approximately 30 days! However, when a Wallaby is first born, it is the size of a Jelly Bean, but it will take several months for the Joey to fully develop! What great news for the new year ahead already!

On Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th December, Mary Martin (Founder of Artbound) was back after her Halloween success, with more winter arts and crafts fun! Families have already started getting into the Christmas Spirit, making sparkly Christmas tree decorations, wondeful Holly Wreaths and fun christmas stickers! Mary will be here on Weekends only, up until Sunday 18th December, with tonnes more activites. 2012 Calender making, Christmas card and hat making, face painting and christmas angels, are just a few more of the activites to name! Go to the ‘Book Online’ page to get your tickets now!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! HO! HO! HO!
