Pennywell Farm is open to the public daily 9am-4pm during mid February-November. They then reopen late November and December for their Christmas experiences.
We spent around 4 hours there. If bringing a lunch with you or eating at the attraction, you could easily last a few more hours there.
​
At Pennywell Farm, there was a variety of different animals to see. This included pigs, goats, ferrets, deer and much more. There is a daily schedule full of activities including pig racing, bottle feeding goats, goat walking and feeding deer. There are three farm rides, a couple of play park areas, an area where you can cuddle piglets and other small animals.
​
When visiting the Piggy and Pet Cuddles area, you will need a blanket. This can be purchased from the gift shop or you can bring your own. You sit down on the benches and staff walk round asking which type of animal you would like to cuddle. We held a piglet, rabbit and guinea pig.
​
There is plenty of parking available in a well-maintained grass carpark. There is also some disabled parking spaces and normal spaces in a hard surface carpark. Parking is free of charge.
​
While at Pennywell Farm, you can stop for something to eat at either their coffee cabin, coffee shop, ice cream parlour or Noah’s picnic barn. The food prices were reasonable for what you would expect to find on a day out, however it was mainly cakes and sandwiches on offer, therefore we found it much cheaper and easier to bring a picnic with us. There are plenty of picnic areas to enjoy your home brought lunch.
​
When we visited, our children were 24 months and 7 months old. We found this day out had something for everyone, no matter your age.
​
We found three sets of toilets around the attraction. Baby changing facilities and accessibility toilets are available in two of the toilet blocks (next to the main barn and near Noah's barn). The flooring is non slip laminate.
​
We found the paths at the farm quite flat and did not struggle to push a pushchair around.
Overall, we would visit again. When we saw staff, they were friendly and helpful. There was something do to at all times and we found the attraction worth the money, therefore we have rated this day out 5 stars out of 5.
