The festive season is fast approaching, and we’d like to share the opening times of our Visitor Centres and Head Office during the holiday period, for everyone wishing to visit over the holidays.
Belwade Farm closes to the public on Friday 22 December, our other farms are now closed.
Belwade Farm and Penny Farm will be reopening to the public on Wednesday 3 January 2024. Glenda Spooner Farm will reopen on Saturday 6 January. Normal opening hours will then resume, see our ‘Visit Us’ page on the website for more details and to book your tickets.
Please note: Hall Farm is currently closed until further notice due to an outbreak of Equine Influenza
Our Head Office will be closed from 3:00pm Friday 22 December until 8:30am Tuesday 2 January. During office closures, if you have a concern relating to a non-emergency situation, you can continue to report it via our form at any time and our team will review the information you have provided on their return.
If you’re concerned about an emergency which can’t wait until office reopening, please contact the police or a vet for advice. You can find details of a local vet through the RCVS Find a Vet page.
Happy Christmas, and we would like to wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year. We look forward to welcoming you back in 2024.
