  • Please check and amend any errors before placing your order with us. If you need to make a change after booking, please go to My Passport where you can manage all bookings and extras.
  • You MUST book online before visiting. If you arrive without a prior booking, you may be refused entry.
  • Tickets are available online right up to the arrival time, provided the session has not been filled. Bookings can be managed through your passport account up to 48 hours before the arrival time.
  • If you arrive at the farm without all your party, unfortunately no compensation can be offered for unused tickets if you haven’t managed your booking at least 48 hours prior to arrival.

  • If you have a physical ticket or gift voucher, you will still need to book an available slot online before arrival. You must bring these with you to be surrendered upon entry to the farm. Failure to produce the physical pass/voucher will mean the free ticket is invalid and the ticket holder will be charged the current farm entry price.
  • Change will not be given for gift vouchers.

  • Proof of registered carer status is required in the form of a DLA or PIP entitlement letter, a blue badge, or a letter from a Doctor/Consultant/NHS Governing body or similar detailing requirements for a carer. Please note, that this is for standard farm admission only. Any event requests, please contact us separately.
  • Failure to provide this information at the farm entrance will mean the free ticket is invalid, and the ticket holder will be charged the current farm entry price.
  • Max Card holders are entitled to buy one, get one free for a total of up to four tickets per max card (add two paid, and two free tickets to your basket to qualify for the maximum amount). Each free Max Card ticket must be accompanied by a full price paying ticket. Please remember to bring your Max Card(s) with you. Your Max card(s) must be signed and in date. Failure to produce valid Max Card(s) at the farm entrance will mean that the free Max Card tickets are invalid, and those ticket holders will be charged the current farm entry price. Max Cards cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotion or discount. Max Card terms apply.
  • All adults and children require a ticket. Children under 2 are free, but proof of age may be required.

  • Please note that the farm animal VIP animal experiences are not suitable for people who are pregnant, or who have auto-immune conditions, due to the risks involved with hands-on contact. Those who are immuno-compromised or on immuno-suppressants are advised to contact the farm before booking.
