Frequently Asked Questions
-
While a number of our daily Animal Handling Sessions are included with every ticket, some optional Animal Experiences are by Pre-Booking ONLY.
These experiences include: Lamb Bottle Feeding, Baby Goat Playtime, Animal Ranger Experiences, and Animal Handling Birthday Parties.
-
All Children require supervision so a minimum of one Adult Ticket is required per booking.
Any other Adults not intending to take part in the Animal Experiences can book All Day Admission – they can be chief photographers!
Some Animal Experiences, for example Animal Ranger Experience days, and Animal Handling Birthday Parties, include at least one Adult Ticket.
Everyone entering Wynford Farm Park needs a Ticket and every child needs Adult supervision.
-
We ask that you arrive EARLY for your Animal Experience sessions for this reason: Our first duty of care is to our animals who rely on us to look after them. Our Animals need fed at their set feeding times. If you are late the animals will be fed by the Ranger responsible for their care.
You can of course still enjoy the Farm with your All Day Admission included with your Ticket.
-
We run Fluffy Animal Handling Sessions every day that we’re open, included with your ticket to give you the opportunity to get closer to some of our cutest residents!
If you’re feeling brave we’ve also got Wee Beasties Handling Sessions so you can meet some scaly or many-legged creatures!
There are also a number of seasonal Animal Activities that change throughout the year, as well as some optional but brilliant Animal Experiences – find out more below!
We also sell feed bags for a number of the animals from Vending Machines, so bring some coins and you’ll be their best friends!

Farm Safari Trailer Rides run during the Summer months, usually from May through into October (or until it starts to get too wet and muddy!)
They run on Weekends and School Holidays, but is weather dependent.
Our Farm Safari Trailer Rides are Wheelchair Friendly! Please just make sure your brakes are locked into place 🙂
-
Yes! We just ask that you give everyone else the opportunity to have a go first.
Your wristband will be marked when you enter the trailer to let us know you’ve already been on once, if there is still room on the trailer when everyone else has got on, you can certainly go round again! Beep beep!

We try our best to be wheelchair friendly and do have regular wheelchair users visit, but please be aware that the paths around the park are a mixture of gravel, paving, and grass. This, and the fact that we are on a hill, means that some paths are easier to use than others and it can depend on the type of wheelchair. We are always happy to give advice on the easiest paths to use, and to give a hand where needed – just ask, we’re a friendly bunch! Almost all the attractions have more than one way of getting there 🙂
All of our buildings are on one level, so access throughout the buildings shouldn’t be a problem 🙂
-

I’m afraid not. Even the most well behaved dogs can scare a number of our animals, and as a result may cause harm.
Registered Guide Dogs are allowed but we ask that you contact us via Facebook or email in advance so that our team are aware and do not challenge it 🙂 Therapy Dogs are not permitted as they do not undergo the same level of rigorous training.
-
Facebook or Instagram messages are the fastest way to get to in touch. As we’re often out on the farm looking after the animals (and we’re closed on Mondays and Tuesdays in term-time) we don’t always have someone available to answer the phone, send us a quick Facebook message or an email to [email protected] and we will get back to you as soon as we can, usually during business hours.
-
We regularly Sell Out of Tickets so we always recommend booking online, as on the door tickets are not always available.
Online tickets are ALWAYS the cheapest too!
