School holidays are the perfect time for family adventures, discovering new experiences, and enjoying the fresh air!
If you’ve never visited us before, you’ll find our Care Farm just off Five Mile Lane in Barry. There’s plenty of parking, and we are a Farm setting, so please remember to wear suitable shoes and clothing.
During your visit, you can enjoy our outdoor play area, meet the small fluffy animals in the Animal Centre, greet our larger animals in the paddocks, and wander through our beautiful semi-ancient woodland. There are woodland trails to explore, wildlife to look out for, and a seasonal trail challenge to complete!
Farm Visits
Farm visits begin at 10am every day and we ask all visitors to be offsite by 4:30pm. Entry to the Farm (when pre-booked) costs £5.80 per person including a donation, or £5.25 per person without a donation. We also offer group tickets for 4 people at discounted prices.
The money we receive from ticket sales goes back into helping us run the GROW programme for local teenagers, take care of our animals, and keep the Farm open for everyone to enjoy.
