Longdown Activity Farm
Longdown Activity Farm is perfect for a family day out - there really is something for everyone. As always, the emphasis is on "hands-on activities" for all ages, and the daily timetable includes bottle-feeding goat kids and calves, meeting the pigs and of course plenty of opportunity to handle small animals such as baby rabbits and guinea pigs. You might even see a chick hatch in our incubator! Come and meet our celebrity, Kerry the Friesian cow. She has appeared on television in a Heinz soup advert, a PG Tips advert and with Nick Knowles. Billy the Shire horse is looking forward to greeting all his old friends back to the Farm and to meeting new ones too. As well as Billy, we have donkeys, woolly alpacas, ducks, chickens and plenty more animals to meet. If the weather is bad, Longdown Activity Farm has three brilliant indoor play areas, which include a ball pool, climbing frames, lots of trampolines and a huge straw barn for the children to run off all that energy. So whatever the weather, there's always something to do. Don't forget to visit The Longdown Farm Shop, which is situated at the entrance to the Farm. The Farm Shop stocks a wide range of delicious locally produced food such as meat, vegetables, bread, dairy products, fish and much more - all sourced from the New Forest and Hampshire. There is no charge to visit Longdown Farm Shop. It is open to visitors and non visitors to the Activity Farm.
