We hope you enjoy our working 320 acre farm and deer park
Set in traditional carr stone barns with a walled garden and adjacent paddocks, Snettisham Park Farm is a traditional Norfolk farm growing wheat, barley, sugar beet and grass. We have 500 Suffolk mules which lamb from February until May each year and the lambing barn really is the heart of the Farm at this time. Visitors can see lambs being born, ewes and lambs mothering and even bottle feed an orphan lamb during this season.
Visitors can also meet our spectacular herd of red deer which comprises 60 hinds and 4 stags. During May, June and July it is calving which is an ideal time to see these beautiful babies. You will be able to see and feed them on our 45 minute unique tractor and trailer deer safari ride. The guide will help you view these magnificent animals and perhaps you will even see them swim.
Park Farm rears beef cattle throughout the year and you can watch the calves being milk fed by farm staff or just admire the older cattle who are very friendly. We have a host of other animals too - see the sleepy pot bellied pigs, meet Shetland ponies Benngie and Barney, say hello to Stella and Stumpy the Dexter cow and calf and avoid being spat at by Inky the guard lama! Collect eggs and grade them ready to sell in the Farm shop or feed our greedy goats who love all the visitors. The farm yard is full of life throughout the year.
We have a huge adventure playground ideal for 7 to 14 year old children together with a smaller version of the playground and sit and ride tractors for younger ones.
Walk a trail and discover some beautiful countryside while learning about the archaeology of Snettisham and the river Ingol valley. View the Deer Park and see the local wildlife.
The Snettisham Park visitor centre houses our tea room, farm and gift shop. The tea room has plenty of indoor seating with an adjacent Orchard picnic area. The tea room serves tea and cakes, soup, sandwiches and hot/cold light lunches. The gift shop specialises in farm toys, children's books, preserves and home grown venison, sheep skins and antlers.
