Things to do in Essex, new attractions, soft play, outdoor activities for fun days out in Essex at Old MacDonald’s open farm

Due to the amount of interest our ‘Cheepy Deal’ has generated, Old MacDonald has decided to add some more dates! Dates are as follows: Friday 25th November and 28th November to the 2nd December. Don’t forget your £2.99 entrance fee is only available when you book your tickets online, so get booking now! (Go to ‘Book Online’ menu option on the Homepage and select ‘The Cheepy’ 2.99).

Earlier on in the year, we sadly lost 2 of our male Rheas, this meaning that the farm would now only have one female Rhea. Old MacDonald and keepers at the farm were very sad by this news and decided that the lone female needed some company. To our excitement, our lovely friends at Capel Manor, Enfield (Educational College who specialise in Animal Care) contacted the farm with news that they may have some replacement Rheas.

On 16/11/11, Old MacDonald’s Farm welcomed ‘Kim’ (male) and ‘Aggie’ (female) both born in December 2009, to their new home with existing female ‘Dora’. All 3 Rheas have settled in perfectly and it’s nice to see ‘Dora’ happy again with her new friends.

From the 21st -25th November, entrance for every person visiting the farm will be an amazing £2.99 when you book your tickets online! Go to the ‘Book Online’ page to book your tickets now! Its an offer you can’t resist! For more info email info@omdfarm.co.uk

During our October Halloween Half Term, Old MacDonald’s Farm and Mary Martin (founder of Artbound) hosted a full week of creative, fun and educational spooky activities. Visitors could also join our ‘Ghost Hunt’ and win a ghoulish gift and take part in a competition to win some family day passes!

We are delighted to announce the lucky winners of the ‘Ghost Hunt’ competition, chosen at random.
