All animals naturally carry a range of bugs, some of which can be passed on to humans, where they may cause ill health. One of these bugs is Ecoli O157, which can cause severe illness. Pregnant women need to take particular care.

Our events take place in our various barns, fields and other areas of the farm. Please see the full description under each event when booking.
