Nathan's Farm

Nathan’s farm gave our neurodivergent grandson an extra special day. He could explore all areas of the farm and pens, getting close to pet and feed the animals. It's an amazing, well-run place and great value for money. Thank you.

We paid £10 for two people to feed the lambs, but only got one lamb because the others were full. That's understandable, but they should only sell as many tickets as there are lambs needing milk. If you're planning to feed the baby lambs, it's best to check that any need milk first. I also think the handwashing facilities need improving. I share some of the concerns raised below about welfare and money making.

We've been to Nathan's Farm three times now, and Mum, Dad, our 3 year old and Grandma all loved it again. Special thanks to Bryony, who cooked and served lunch, worked in the shop, brought out the rabbits and guinea pigs for our little one to hold, and seemed to be doing everything. What a great hostess.

I was very disappointed and embarrassed by our visit. Last Saturday, my husband, son and I arrived at the farm expecting a lot because we'd heard good things. We paid £20, but weren't given the feed or a wristband, so I had to get the feed myself. About 40 minutes later, I was accused of not paying. The owner's daughter called out to her mum, asking if I'd paid, and her mother, who had greeted us, acted as though she didn't know us. I had to show the receipt on my husband's phone to prove we'd paid to enter. If we'd paid cash, we would've had no proof at all. Many of the children's cars and toys were broken and unsafe. The climbing frame was rusty and a health hazard.
