Pennywell Farm is home to the world famous Pennywell miniature pigs and you can enjoy piggy cuddles with the piglets in the cosy piggy cuddles barn.

If ponies are your thing, groom and pamper our very sociable pint sized ponies in our miniature pony centre. What they lack in size in definitely make up for in personality and they love to be fussed over.

Pennywell Pig Racing is a must and every afternoon at 2.30pm, you can be a part of this phenomenon - we guarantee you won’t have experienced anything quite like it.

There’s acres of indoor space to play and picnic and if it rains during your visit we will give you a FREE return ticket.

Toddlers will love our special toddler play village and Noah’s Barn is home to a giant bouncy castle, indoor bowling alley and soft play. Outside you can challenge the family to game of crazy golf on our farmyard themed course or take things at a slower pace with a game of croquet on the lawn.

Our international collection of funky fowl have their own little village and egg collecting is one of the first activities of the day. Just behind the poultry, you will find our deer field with stunning views over the Dart Valley and a chance to meet our fabulous fallow and red deer.
