SAY HELLO TO OUR ANIMALS
Have you met all our wonderful animal friends around the Park? Have a peak at what they’re up to and meet our lovely Animal Keepers in the short videos below.
Pets’ Corner is a lovely farmyard space which is the home of our Shetland pony, Clyde; our male goat, Billy; 3 pigs, Hickory, Dickory and Doc plus donkeys, guinea-pigs, giant rabbits and chickens. Come and stroke our pets and ask our friendly animal keepers all about them.
Our Adventure Park is a large open space where you’ll find lots more animal friends. Visit our many different breeds of chicken, our geese, runner ducks, pigmy goats, alpacas and turkeys.
Watch out for Kevin too. He’s our peacock and he’s in charge. He wanders around wherever he chooses. See if you can spot him. Look out for our seasonal animal visitors too including lamb, calves and chicks.
