Meet the Animals

We have a whole host of animals large and small, waiting to meet you!

In the Nursery it’s a feeding frenzy of fun loving goats. Further along you will find baby chicks and sometimes newly hatched ducklings. And don’t forget to visit our goats Ralph and Grumpy Greg!

At Farmyard Friends you will be greeted by our friendly Ponies and Alpaca amongst others. We do like to spend a lot of time outside, so if our pens are empty come and see us in the fields and paddocks. 

Next stop is our specially glazed breeding unit where you can see piglets feeding from their mothers. This is often a highlight for the whole family to experience together especially if you are lucky enough to see piglets being born.

Our bunnies and guinea pigs can be found in their own compound, often with babies cuddled up together. We have regular petting sessions so keeps an eye out for the daily events!

And if meeting all these wonderful animals isn’t enough, we have some very chatty birds in our aviary, a whole host of feathered friends in our poultry house, along with spacious paddocks that are home to a variety of cows, sheep and Shetland ponies.

We pride ourselves on being able to offer a unique experience which allows your child to learn about modern farming and interact with animals in a safe and fun environment. For the welfare of all our animals we do have feeding notices around the park, so please make sure you adhere to them.

Joey

Hi I’m Joey, the miniature spotted horse at Hardys Animal Farm. Sometimes you can meet me at my paddock to the right of the farm entrance! I love to greet our guests before they enter our farm, although I have my own specially prepared food so please do not feed me.

Lucy

Hello I'm Lucy! I live in Farmyard Friends but sometimes you can find me wandering and snuffling around the farm. I love nothing more than a good back scratch and having a snooze on the grass. Please don't feed me as I have my own special food.
