These are very popular and change regularly, so please get a parent to ring up for you and find out what's on or pick up an activity programme on
site. These activities are usually "drop-in" sessions and you don't have to book.
Activities run every school holiday and some weekends throughout the year, usually between 1.00 pm and 3.00 pm, although this can vary depending on the activity.
Details of the actual programmes can be found by picking up a holiday activity leaflet or by ringing 0113 2645535. Farm quiz sheets area also available to collect, free of
charge, at the farm entrance. These offer you the chance to discover more about different things down on the farm, such as lambing, tractors, young farm animals, etc.
