What a great place, this is my second visit and it was better than the first. The staff are very friendly and informative and overall it is great value for money, well done.

We've had many happy family days here but also had our daughters 3rd birthday party here on Sunday. 5* service throughout from phoning Wendy and booking it to buying a toy at the end in the gift shop.

Would also like to thank the man that done the tractor ride (sorry I've forgot your name) but you came and spoke to us when we were setting up and later that day to make sure we were having the best time.

Thank you & see you soon ’┐Į’┐Į

We visited on 1st July for my grandsons 3rd birthday - never been before but heard so many good things - it was a brilliant day, William had the best time and there was so much to keep him and his little buddies busy - well done to all involved in the running of this fantastic place - we shall be back! ­¤śÄ­¤Äé­¤śś

We love this farm! ItŌĆÖs so clean and tidy. Well laid out, perfect play centre for the kids and amazing experiences. My boys got to feed lambs, climb in with pigs, go on a tractor ride! Hold the baby chicks, and do a lovely Easter egg hunt. The staff are just perfect. So friendly ’┐Į thanks for a great day out ’┐Į

We had a lovely visit at the weekend. My niece loved feeding the lambs and holding a chick. Was great to see the weather didn't put people off. Great place to go, plenty to do would highly recommend. We will be back soon x

We had a lovely day the farm yesterday , despite the rain there was plenty to see undercover. We fed the baby lambs , the softplay was great and cafe food lovely. Our highlight was the tractor ride, very entertaining ’┐Į my little boy loved the ride on tractors and they loved the trampolines . Aged 5 & 7. Perfect . Thankyou x

We had a great afternoon out with our grandchildren aged 2 & 3. The staff were all very nice, even when we were laughing at their attempts to catch the lambs. The children loved bottle feeding the lambs, the young lady who led the activity was exceptionally good with both the lambs and our grandchildren. She had been very good with our grandson earlier in the day when she let him hold a rabbit too. The bales of straw around the enclosures are excellent for the children to stand on and the adults to sit on, allowing easy access to the animals, and there are clearly marked areas where you are allowed to get in with the animals that even the children understood.

The play areas, both inside and outside are very well equipped and laid out, the ground level trampolines are brilliant, much better than having netting around the sides so the children don't fall off (I must talk to the son-in-law about him digging a large hole in our garden for one). The food (cakes and coffee) in the cafe were very tasty, and once again the staff were lovely. We really enjoyed our time here, as someone who grew up around a farm I found that there was a good mix of working farm environment and family oriented day out - the children even thought that washing their hands outside was brilliant as it was a new experience for them.

Quite possibly the best farm we've ever been to. The opportunity to interact with the animals was fantastic and the amount of things to play on, including the large sand area was loved by our 21month old son!

Great day out on our holiday. Thanks.

Once again Church Farm never fails to disappoint. Fantastic day despite the mud and cold. The kids had a fabulous time; feeding the lambs, racing around doing the Easter egg hunt, enjoying the ride on tractors and feeding the pigs on the real tractor ride. The sandpit and the hay bales and the indoor play! Such a brilliant day out. Always worth the 50 min drive as we have nothing that compares to the quality of Church farm near to us (closer to Norwich!) Almost forgot to mention the delicious cakes! Thank you again for doing such a fantastic job!

I visited here over the weekend with a friend and our two little boys of 17/18 months. The whole day was amazing from start to finish. Lovely setting, great friendly staff, great food and the animals are very well cared for!

I have been here a few times with the family and have never been disappointed. This weekend I visited twice in one weekend (with different people). I love it and so do my nephews. They have a great variety of animals for the children to meet and pet when possible! They seem to do a brilliant job at keeping all the animals healthy and happy. ItŌĆÖs not too expensive either which is nice as some places seem to charge a fortune but this wasnŌĆÖt the case.

The indoor and outdoor play area option is also good too, we can never guarantee what the weather is going to do, so having both can never disappoint! One thing I will say is at busy times the indoor play area seems to get a bit messy, with tables not being cleared and some litter on the floor, I do feel though that this is the responsibility of the staff and the customer, I know I like to clear up after myself and my family.

Whilst we were there Sunday 15th April a Ewe gave birth to 2 very small lambs, the lady helping the Ewe was brilliant and even took the time to explain the situation, as one lamb was very small and struggling to attach to the Ewe for the very important colostrum, my mother and I was wondering how the tiny lambs are doing and if the Ewe gave birth to anymore, as that was a concern too?

Thanks to all the lovely staff and we will be returning!

Fantastic day spent here with my son. There was a variety of things for him to do to keep him busy for the day i struggled to get him to come home. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Would defiently recommend if people are looking at going.

Fantastic day out, brilliant value for money and lots of opportunties for children to get close to the animals. The cafe and hatchery offers a super standard of food and drink at reasonable prices. Outdoor and indoor play areas were really impressive. Staff were so friendly and the play areas and seating were spotless! Will definitely return soon.

Excellent day with 4 year old niece Imogen and 2 year old nephew William. It was fathers day and they had many huge farm machines that you were able to climb into and touch everything - great day for my brother (big boys toys - combjne harvesters sprayers and lots of tractors to take the children on) :)- I loved the way everyone was expected to be responsible and we weren't herded or supervised at every turn.

Lots of animals to pet and great pig races too. The play facilities inside and out were brilliant and the sandpit and trampoline were definite favourites - highly recommend to all with young children. GREAT DAY OUT and very reasonably priced too!! Thank you.

Always a wonderful outing here with the grandsons! The staff are absolutely lovely - helpful friendly and kind. Special thanks to Katie in the restaurant who was so patient as we all chose from the the really excellent menu! The place is absolutely spotless- loos never messy which is always a good sign­¤żŚ. Thank you everyone!

Absolutely beautiful setting, loads for the children to do and see! Teddy bears picnic today was such fun, all planned out which made it so relaxed. I am so pleased I bought a season ticket, we love it there . P.s. Cakes here are amazing ’┐Į thank you for a lovely day

Good day out with the kids. Kept the kids entertained.



CanŌĆÖt fault the first aiders when my baby daughter hurt her thumb. The lady was very kind and helpful. Thank you again.



Please can you look at additional admissions for disabled guests and careers please ’┐Į

This is a good place to take the children out for a few hours. If it rains there's a great indoor play area. The animals are well looked after and they look healthy. Disappointingly though, I feel they are overcharging for food in the canteen. Actually, it's an absolute rip off - ┬Ż5 for half a jacket potato! The quality of the bread/baguettes was poor. I have no qualms whatsoever paying for quality food, but I dislike being ripped off.....

I would say it lovely day out in summer but not in winter tho . Kids loved it but staff were rude cafe floor was all dirty wet they don't do much in food side for kids. Not being funny plate of chips wouldn't go a miss plus I order bake potatoes for me fella one of my kids it was bloody cold prices in there omg I think I need to save up for next visit if I think would come bk there again ..
