Hidden on the borders of North Yorkshire & Lancashire’s countryside, there is something for everyone at Thornton Hall Country Park this Summer (20th July – 1st September). Head over to the award-winning visitor attraction for indoor and outdoor farm fun, animal encounters and entertainment for all the family!
Meet the friendly farm animals and join in with seasonal farm activities - daily lamb & calf feeding, visit the chicken houses helping the farmers to collect the eggs and have a cuddle with the rabbits and guinea pigs.
As well as farm tours and animal talks. Animal feed is available to buy at just £1 if you want to feed the other furry residents - donkeys, ponies, alpacas, llamas and goats to name just a few!
Let the children burn off their energy in the indoor and outdoor play areas where they can experience giant slides, rope swings, hay maze, ride-on tractors, sandpits and pedal go-karts.
