Animal Experience at Hogshaw Farm
Enjoy a unique petting experience with our rare breeds. We offer private sessions led by our experts, with your favourite animal or choose to be a Ranger or Farmer for a day!
Private Encounters
25 minute session
These popular experiences can be tailor-made to suit visitors of all ages. They are exclusive, hands-on experiences led by one of our trained farm and wildlife team, where visitors can get close to an animal of their choice.
Typically, you can choose one of the following animals: goats, sheep, rabbits, guinea pigs and reptiles. Other animals may also be possible, so let us know your favourite and we’ll see what we can do!
Price: £25
Bespoke Encounters
40 minute session
These exclusive and bespoke experiences usually take place in the Wildlife Zone, as these animals are more specialised and need more expert handling.
This is an exciting opportunity for the visitor to really get involved with an animal with the guidance of one of our expert staff, eg. walking the reindeer, feeding the wallabies, flying an owl or meeting our silver fox.
