Top little farm in manchester. It is definitely a much less industrial feel than other farms I’ve been to.

I guess the point I’m trying to make is that the... read more animals seem happy and well looked after, they have huge open pastures to live in and they almost seem like visitors themselves, rather than caged up performers. Less commercial.

Also expect to pay around half the price of a typical farm.

I also know that they sell some of their smaller animals and a friend had a much better experience buying from this farm than from pets at home, as the animals have been handled from birth.

Kids love it and we love it. read less

Went with a 1 year old in a buggy and I have to say us adults had a great time! Plenty to do and see and a lovely walk around... read more the farm. Make sure you do buy a bucket of bread or carrots to feed the animals. We were ushered by staff into the lamb feeding barn and loved every minute of that experience. They have a hot dog/ice cream van, but also plenty of benches and seats picnic areas should you wish to bring a packed lunch. Washrooms were clean and plenty of hand washing stations. I am 7 months pregnant and there were plenty of informative signs for which animals not to touch and avoid. Lovely farm in the middle of Oldham! read less

Enjoyable family fun On arrival I realised I’d no cash in my purse. Which was an issue as they don’t take cards. (There is a Tesco [turn right as you exit the farm]... read more 10 mins away on foot with a cash point though, so that was good). It cost £11 for one adult and two kids.

You can buy small pales of carrots and bread to feed animals at £1 a pale. Which is great. I saw other people taking their own carrots and bread in so I assume it wouldn’t be an issue.

We had glorious weather. We spent about three hours there. It would have been longer but we had to get home to our dog.

(No pets allowed there). It’s ideal for smaller kids as it’s not a massive walk.

There are paths all around the site, gravelly and uneven in places but people seemed to be managing with pushchairs ok. There’s slight slopes to walk up so it may be an issue for some people. Staff use mobility scooters to get around the site, so if you use one it’s possible. However be ready for a bumpy ride!

We took a packed lunch which I was pleased about as the availability of food was quite limited (hot dogs and ice creams). Prices from £1 to £2.50 if I remember rightly.

The animals are varied and we all enjoyed feeding them.

Sadly we missed the feeding of the lambs as it was so busy. So to avoid disappointment arrive early!

Petting the rabbits was a high point for my sons. They were beaming!

The park has two nice play areas and both have seating available for picnics. The zip line was great fun.

The caterpillar ride for £1.50 was excellent! My sons loved it. The dry dusty dirt blew about a lot and they were filthy afterwards. Which is neither here nor there but, if you are planning going else where afterwards you may want to bare it in mind.

Around the outside of the park itself there’s a canal, with pathways that would be a lovely walk or bike ride. Next time I’ll be sure to do that.

There’s a pub down (turn right as you leave the farm) road where you can get a pub lunch should you feel inclined.

Also there is a train station right outside for trains into Manchester. read less

Wonderful family day out! We bought our buckets of carrots and bread and fed the farm animals on the lovely nature walk circuit (30 minute walk). We also got to... read more hold mice, rabbits and Guinea pigs; we fed lambs from milk bottles and had a picnic in the play area. It was reasonably priced too (£3.50 for adults £4 for children). We'll come again. Thank you for the experience! read less

Great memories made here! This little gem of a place is truly amazing. The animals are well cared for, the staff are friendly.

The scenery is stunning.

Our 10yr old daughter loved feeding the... read more lambs, cuddling a tiny mouse and riding on the caterpillar. We didn’t want to go home.

It was lovely feeding all of the animals on our walk around the park, we bought more food and walked around it again.

We’ll be returning, it’s well worth every penny.

Thanks to all in making this place special for all to enjoy. read less

Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! We visited in the Easter holidays with not much expectation but we were blown away at how brilliant this place is.

When you drive in and park up you feel that... read more you’re visiting a scrap yard not a farm but once you go through the gates you are met by an abundance of well looked after animals and really friendly staff.

We arrived just in time to join the lamb feeding, we sat on the hay bails and each lamb was brought out and we took turns to feed it with bottled milk.

The other visitors fed the lambs and left but we waited around and got to feed loads more lambs and a member of staff said if we wait she will let all the lambs out for a run around once the last lamb had been fed.

So we waited and it was amazing 20 lambs jumping and running around and my children were in their element.

The girl who looks after the lambs showed individual care to each lamb and she seemed to know each one and what they liked best.

After we left the lambs we walked around the whole farm and met all the other animals, horses, donkeys, geese, ducks, goats, pigs and by the end were met by beautiful peacocks.

This place is a real hidden gem and truly worth a visit I would imagine on a day with great weather it would be ideal for picnics and a longer stay.

It costs £4.00 for children and £3.50 for adults.... make sure you buy some buckets of carrots and bread on the way in to feed animals on the way round.

We will be going back in the next school holidays for sure read less

A wonderful farm with lots to see Firstly this farm has such a touching origin story, the owner fought for years to get this farm up and running, if you have chance visit the website and have... read more a quick read. It'll make you want to visit even more!

There's so many animals to see here and all seem to be very happy and well looked after, it's so cheap to enter and animal feed buckets are on sale for £1.

There's a park and rides for the kiddies and a petting shed manned by lovely, helpful staff.

It's very outdoors as you'd expect so prepare for the weather, I'd recommend wellies and its CASH ONLY. read less

Rough round the edges. But loads of different animals to see, feed and pet. Very good value. The little ones had a great time

Hidden gem If you don't know the area this can be a bit tricky to find as you wouldn't think there is a farm in that area but there us and it's... read more well worth going. There is free parking but only about 20 spaces so you might struggle for a space on certain occasions or times but I've been a few times and had no problem. The entrance fee is very reasonable and you can also buy so food for the animals. There are lots if farm animals like horses,goats,pigs,chickens...that type of thing and they have a petting area if you want to sit and stoke the animals like rabbits and other small animals. Remember to save some animal food as there is more farm past the main farm area and there is a nice half mile circular walk you can do around the other section of the farm. There are 2 outside little parks with swings and zip wires and a coin operated car ride around a circuit. There are also barrel rides were the farmer or his assistant drives a quad around a field with barrels on wheels on the back were kids sit and go for a ride....(just for people that don't know what a barrel ride is) You can buy food there but not sure if it's just snacks like crisps and chocolate or warm food like burgers or hotdogs but whatever they sell there is no indoor dinning area but there are some benches outside to sit. Nice place to go with or without kids and I will be back...I normally take my son there once or twice a year. read less
