Meet our orphan lambs and get to bottle feed them during the spring and summer months. This activity is wonderful fun for all ages and everyone can get involved.

During the spring you can hear from our experienced farm staff the latest details about how the lambing is progressing and how special spring time is down on our farm.

This activity captivates everyone. We have to feed the lambs at regular time just like human babies. Our visitor's are able to help us.

Like most of our activities at Snettisham Park, bottle-feeding lambs is a wheelchair and pushchair friendly activity.

During lambing season no buggies are allowed in our sheep barn due to health and safety. 

Help us collect and grade our Snettisham Park eggs. Why not purchase some in our Visitor Centre to take home - they don't come much fresher than that!

All our hens are Rhode Island Reds and each one will lay around 300 eggs each year so there are plenty of eggs to collect every day. After collecting the eggs learn how our egg grading machine works.

If you're lucky, one of our hens may lay while you wait.

A nearly full basket.

"Good morning ladies!"

Why not help us groom our ponies. Toby loves to be fussed as aswell as ridden and brushed whilst Beetle, Hamish and Joey love to give children a pony ride during Norfolk school holidays (£3.50 each - please see Pony Riding page for dates) on Tuesdays and Thursdays or if you are feeling adventurous why not try a longer 1/2 hour pony trek around the lovely farm tracks (always with staff leading the ponies for safety). Treks are on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and cost £20.

Pony riding needs to be pre-booked. Call 01485 542425

As well as being a pretty registered Dartmoor Pony, Beetle is a super little pony for younger riders.

Toby is the newest member of our team! He loves everyone and is a super ride for nervous children!

Jo-Jo is a bit bigger and stronger so slightly older children can enjoy a ride also. He is a lovely, friendly pony with a great character.

The ponies love having a day out at Heacham Horse Show with Ethan each summer. They won lots of rosettes and trophies!

The Park has different types of cross bred miniature goats which will appreciate you saying hello to them during your visit. Just make sure you buy some goat nuts from the Visitors Centre before heading down the farmyard or you might find your jacket is next on the menu.

The farm usually has a piglet or two. They will stay with us for several months until they are too large for our farm. They are very cute and grow very quickly.

During your visit you can meet our working sheep dog 'Nel'.

Nel loves to play football with our younger visitors when she's not out working with the sheep.

You may be able to see her work whilst you are here.

We have several cute little guinea pigs. They love our visitors and squeak when they see people coming into the barn. 

We have got two beautiful rabbits called Shadow and Amber, Shadow is was rescued but is very friendly and Amber is very lively.

Come and meet our gracious tortoises Trevor (aged 85 years), Terry (aged 45 years) and Archie (age unknown). 

Terry loves to wander around the play area. He loves dandelions if you can find any to pick.

Trevor is very laid back and has the typically slow statue that you would expect from a gentleman his age!

Archie (who was recently donated to Snettisham Park), is very fast and a master at 'pea football'.

Our Tortoises hibernate from late October right the way through till March/April once the weather has warmed up. 

Come and see the calves being fed in the Calf House.

Meet the inquisitive calves - see how gentle these animals are.

All our calves were born on other farms but it is up to us to rear them. The calves are fed on artificial milk powder similar to the lambs.

Most of our calves have been bred from Friesian dairy cows and their fathers are mainly Charolais or Simmental bulls.
