West Lodge Farm Park Description

The Dee Family have been Farming at West Lodge for 3 generations. The working farm opened it's doors to the public 20 years ago and is now a place where families can spend the whole day enjoying farm life and the wonderful countryside around them. Children of all ages can meet and learn about our range of farm animals, including many rare breeds. They can handle the fluffy young chicks, rabbits and guinea pigs in Cuddle Corner and laugh at the antics of our pygmy goats on Goat Mountain. You can feed the ducks, groom a pony, watch and get involved in the ever popular piglet race, plus many more seasonal animal activities, such as lamb bottle feeding in the spring. There is plenty to see and do under cover too, with all activities and a good variety of penned animals on display in our many barns near the centre.

Walk one of the many nature trails, from quarter of a mile to three and a half, taking you through our conservation award-winning farm through woods, meadows, by streams and ponds enjoying the diversity of wildlife on the way. Look up you may see skylarks, lapwings and raptors and if you are very lucky you might even see a red kite. Closer to the ground look out for deer, hares, wild rabbits, foxes, badgers, voles and even grass snakes.

Back at the farm, children can work off their energy in indoor and outdoor play areas, build a shelter in the den-making area, as well as enjoying the free barrel ride which runs every hour. There is also, during the main season, a real tractor trailer tour of the farm available to book. Everyone can enjoy home cooked meals, snacks or tea and cakes in our Rickyard restaurant.

User

We've been here for a few events, the most recent Easter, west Lodge never disappoints, they had so much on, kids all loved it!! The new indoor area is amazing, and all the areas are looked after! The staff are all friendly and happy and there's loads of seats for picnics and hot food too! Thank you team for all you do!!

User

We have an annual pass now, it seems like everytime we come there is something different to learn or something different we find! Our children have really enjoyed the last few themed events too! We also got our rabbit from the west lodge, and you can tell the amount of attention it has had, as it is so friendly and happy to have human contact! Staff are great too

User

We had a fabulous full day at the farm with two 10 year olds and a 7 year old.... all loved it! We bottle fed lambs, saw the piglets race, bought food from the shop and fed the greedy goats and the adorable little kids!!!!!!

We warmed up In the fabulous new indoor play area and had a lovely lunch in the restaurant!



Great day out for all ages

User

We came here for a family day out with our 1 year old as it had been so long since we had one. The whole place is amazing! It was a miserable rainy day but there was still plenty to enjoy! Especially as we saw the newly born lambs, so adorable!

Definitely will be back in the summer �

User

Visited this week for the first time with my 4 and 2 year old. We had a fab day, would definitely recommend it to friends. Such good value for money even with pony rides and bags of animal feed added on.



The lady who drove the barrel ride, did the goat talk and cuddle corner was brilliant with the kids, she is a credit to the farm. Loved it! Will be back this summer �

User

Today my daughter had her 5th Birthday party here & it was AMAZING. The party food was yummy and plenty of it and plenty of drinks which the staff were happy to keep refilling when they needed topping up and even better they had ice cream for pudding! The kids were able to run around in the playarea and it was just a brilliant atmosphere. The staff were super helpful & friendly the party ran like clockwork without any problems. Very happy parents & very happy children & very happy tired birthday girly ��

Thankyou Westlodge x

User

Me and my family went here for the first time and wow what an amazing place lovely friendly staff seeing the baby lambs was amazing the indoor play area is fantastic would pay just to let the kids play there. Kids had a pony ride and loved it we even did the walk to the gnome bridge got covered in mud but the kids had the best day ever thank you xx

User

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to the staff for helping us with Noah's birthday party on the 9th June, we partied here for his 3rd birthday too so knew it would be great but the organization was second to none, the kids all loved having the party room to hang out in and the free roam of the indoor play before having time after to enjoy the farm - Jess our party host was wonderful and almost made me wonder what I had forgotten because she had meticulously ensured everything ran perfectly thank you so much

User

Had a lovely first visit to the farm last Thursday with my friend and 5 kiddies between us aged between 3 and 8. So very impressed with the facilities and the activities on offer throughout the day. The children really enjoyed seeing the various animals, playing on the impressive adventure playground and the pony rides which were well worth the extra £2 each. Also really loved the barrel tractor ride! Looking forward to our next visit already!

User

Had a great day recommend great day out for the family and loved the tractor barrel ride and seeing the animal's and aventure walks around the farm was great fun would go back with out a dealt plenty to do for the whole day aspeacily when weather dry and nice and go for a picnic also great fun.

User

Great day out. Lovely play area with lots of mini tractor cars and swings slide etc outside. Inside play area very big and lovely baby area with bricks and fish images on the floor. We visited on pirate and princess day and liked the decorations. Animals great and food available to purchase on entry. Tractor ride got busy so make sure you book on entrance. Loved free barrel ride. Didn't ride ponies but looked good. Lots of places to picnic. Overall a great day.

User

First visit to the farm, me and my daughter absolutely loved it. Only one thing I would say is the microphone that the member of staff used for the pig races was extremely loud and my daughter having autism found this quite distressing. Other than that the farm is a lovely day trip

User

Came today for the first time for my sons 2nd Birthday was an absolute fantastic experience the piglet racing, and feeding the goats! Will defo be coming back again staff was very very polite and welcoming and helpful also. Overall fantastic farm and great staff. Oh and very cute animals�

User

Amazing value for money, so much to do and see. Indoor and outdoor play areas, cuddle corner, tractor rides, pony rides, trails, barrel rides are some of our favourites. The staff were fantastic, so friendly. My son had an accident in the indoor play area- they were calm and first wider came, were fantastic with him .... thank you.

User

The place was lovely had a nice time with my family. My son loved the chickens and ducks got close to a goat as i was feeding them. We went into the indoor play area to get out of the sun for a bit but was only in for 15 mins as it got a bit hot and stuff in there, would of been nice to have a bit of air con. Loved the batrel ride. A must for a family day out.

User

After a previous bad bank holiday experience we went back to the farm. The staff were really friendly and we had an amazing time. Lots of activities and things happening-combine harvester, sheep sheering, tractor rides. Only downside was there was only a roast dinners option in the restaurant or toasties as we were told shack was closed. However, didn't spoil the day at all as spent nearly 6 hours there xx

User

Love the walks and we managed to do them all :). The only moan I have is the witches house all the peep holes were covered with sticks and stones so we couldn't see if daisy was in and the troll bridge, trolls don't pop up much anymore and lots of the grass around the ponds were overgrown so my children couldn't get close enough without the fear of falling in.

But the guy in charge of milkshake at 3.15 yesterday was really helpful and gave us some new tips on other areas to explore and apologised for daisy's house :) .

Seriously chocolate ice cream cone is a must !! Absolutely amazing :)

Oh and another moan the air con in adventure barn wasn't on yesterday and it was baking !! We ended up leaving because it was just too hot.
