Gardens and Park Farm

Our gardens and Farm Park are increasingly popular with young and old alike and also provide a wonderful teaching resource for our students. Operating for 18 years, the Farm Park now achieves 40,000 visitors a year and gives students the opportunity to interact with the public.

Children love the wide variety of animals and excellent play facilities and the extensive grounds provide a beautiful backdrop for picnics. The Park holds the following:

  • Large collection of animals − from guinea pigs to ponies and owls to emus
  • Regular 'Keeper Talks' to inform visitors about the origin, welfare and habitat of various animals
  • Grooming, handling and bottle−feeding sessions
  • Stunning ornamental lake and walled garden
  • Visitor Centre and shop
  • Picnic area and refreshment kiosk
