Make New Friends

Animal feed is available from the admission shed, cafe and gift shop so you can hand feed our farm animals, feed is £1.50 per bag. We do not bottle feed our baby animals but there may be a chance to meet them during animal demonstrations and you can see them in our animal barns.

Please ask a member of staff if you have any questions, we love to share farm knowledge!

All the animals at Raines Hall Farm are looked after to the highest standards and given large enclosures with plenty of enrichment to ensure they have the best lives possible. Some live indoors and some outdoors, our large animals are rotated throughout the year so they get the best of both worlds but there is always something for you to see up close. There is plenty to see all around the farm, don’t miss the tractor ride which will allow you to see our chickens too!

If you have a favourite animal on the farm, you may be interested in our Animal Sponsorships, see our Memberships and Passes page!
