Something new and exciting at Stonehurst.....

Radio Leicester came to see us last week, So we showed them how we look after our piggies and help them beat the heat ☀️ 🐷

The Leicester Mercury visited us today at Stonehurst and had a chat with Farmer Jen to see how we keep our farm animals cool during the Heatwave. We are open everyday and so is our farm shop and tearoom if you are looking to get out and about during this hot weather spell.

It’s been super, sizzling, hot, so we thought we’d give our golden oldies a bath and pamper to help them keep cool in the heatwave this week.

Our lovely girl Happy cow is 17yrs old today, one of Farmer Toms favourite and oldest cows, Happy has had lots of calves over the years and helped look after orphaned calves too. A Birthday cupcake for an awesome birthday cow 🐮

It’s homemade Beef pasty today at the Farmers Den. Locally sourced British Beef from Roberts Butchers of Mountsorrel....yum yum.

Join us for our annual sheep shearing this Sunday 17/6/18 at Stonehurst from Midday and see our flock get their haircuts 🐑
Sheep shearing is a seasonal task that takes place in the warmer summer months to keep the sheep cool and comfortable and to prevent them from losing condition. The wool will go to the British wool Marketing Board and might make your next winter wooly jumper, gloves, socks, or scarf ! 🧤🧦🧣
... No extra charge on our usual admission prices. #Britishwool #happysheep #Britishfarming 🐑 🐑 🐑 #stonehurstfarm #leicestershiretourism

What an amazing day we have had.Thank you to all the staff who helped with the animals. It was a special moment seeing the lamb being born. The children loved feeding the animals, the pony ride and cuddling the Guinea pigs. Will be coming back soon when it's a bit warmer.

The tea rooms is brilliant, catered really well for my daughter with CMPA and it meant she could have the same as her sister not just chips! Thank you again �.

What a fantastic place to visit, lots to do from pony rides, holding chicks ducklings, rabbits and guinea pigs, animals to feed. Playgrounds and so much more. The staff are fantastic nothing to much trouble, a great day out.

We’ve been here a few times now, the staff are lovely and friendly and helpful, the animals are lovely and the facilities are great for the kids and adults alike! Would definitely recommend anyone who loves animals to visit Stonehurst Farm 😊

We're fairly regular visitors and have also held our daughter's Birthday party there a few years ago. The farm is great value for money run by the owners to an extremely high standard. There is something here for the whole family as well as individual visitors and with a wonderful vintage and classic vehicle collection in the museum, a fabulous place for any motoring enthusiast. The Farmers Den Cafe offers fabulous food in generous portions at reasonable prices and the farm shop is not to be missed either. All in all, one of the best and friendliest family attractions in the East Midlands.

We visited on Saturday with our 3 year old daughter, and our friends and their 15 month old daughter. The male member of staff operating the ticket desk (didn't get his name unfortunately) couldn't have been friendlier and really made our visit extra special with his lovely manner so thanks to him! Everything about this farm was fantastic (lunch excellent too), we can't wait to return some other time.

We have been here a couple of times now it's such a good place to visit our little boy loves it! The staff are so friendly and helpful no doubt this will be a place we will always visit now! �

We came to Stonehurst Farm today and had a wonderful time; my 5yr old daughter had so much to do with her 2 cousins.....tractor ride, pony ride (to my delight!), feeding lambs, petting the rabbits, feeding all the animals and thoroughly enjoying the 2 play parks. Her favourite bit was playing in the ‘straw barn’ swinging on the rope swings and exploring the tunnels. Thank you to everyone there, it was a great day out �

Today we visited group of around 55+ people with kids . Such a lovely experience of lambing , feeding , tractor ride and picnic . Staff is very very friendly . Looking at number they did special tractor ride for us . Loved shopping in farm shop . Highly recommended .

Today we had a birthday party with you and we can’t praise you enough! Very well organised, great staff and great fun! Thank you! Xx

Today was my daughters 4th birthday and we went along because she loves this farm and in particular the horse rides. I had prepared her that due to the weather the horse rides may not be on. When we got there they went out of their way to make my daughters day so special. They even got the tractor and the horse out so she could have a ride. I cannot speak highly enough of this farm. Wonderful staff and a wonderful place. The tea room was fantastic too. Made my daughter so happy.

This is the first time that we have been to stonehurst farm and I cant rate it enough, the staff are so so lovely and are helpful in every way to allow you as close contact as possible with the animals, today my girls have held baby chicks, lambs, rabbits, they have gone on the tractor ride, played in muddy puddles, fed all the animals, played on the fab play areas and finished off the day with horse riding. Just such a fabulous place which is great value for money with so many activities to do. When we arrived parking was limited due to it being the first day of Easter holidays where the sun was beaming and no rain hooray!!! I had to park in the farm shop parking and the guy who was on the till allowed me to remain there which I was so grateful for as had a large vehicle and been on the road a while. This place is fabulous we are definitely coming back. Keep up the brilliant work � perfect for families with small children.

Such a fantastic farm. Visited on a school trip and the children loved it. Amazing to see lambs being born and the staff were so friendly, welcoming and enthusiastic. A very caring farm.

Lovely morning spent at Stonehurst for my sons 5th birthday party � all of our guests were also impressed with all the activities we did and what a lovely time all the children had, will definitely do another birthday party here may even book in for my youngest sons 2nd birthday as he enjoyed it so much also.

It was cold grey and wet but we still had a brilliant time. Lots of tiny lambs, piglets and chicks. Guinea pigs and rabbits to pet and a tractor ride. A lovely farm with a cosy cafe what more could you ask for.

Had my daughters 2nd bday party here. Was fab value for money, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and the children loved it. Would defiantly book a party again. Thank you, especially to our party leader �

Had a fantastic day at the farm with my little one she really enjoyed it we spent the whole day there the weather was lovely too .. the staff were really friendly and welcoming enjoyed every bit of it there was lots to do our favourite part was the tractor ride will definitely come back again � x

First visit yesterday. What a find. Greeted by a lovely young man at the till who explained all the events and even found us in the farm when things were going to happen.

Will visit again and recommend.

Fabulous man where you pay, giving out the stickers and maps, very attentive to the children and their excitement, fabulous facilities and staff, lots of things for the kids to do and play with, fantastic offers for the children and lots of petting opportunities for the children, fabulous scone and toastie in the cafe, absolutely fabulous day had by all and will definitely be back!

Absolutely great day out! Highly recommended if your kids like to feed the animals and have the opportunity to enjoy lovely fresh food and gorgeous coffee, don't forget to look at the farm shop and the Motor Museum, a hidden treasure for antique cars and memorabilia fans.
