Church Farm is a family farm park where children can meet a wide range of rare breed animals, including Suffolk horses, several breeds of sheep, goats, pigs and chickens. Visitors can feed and stroke many of the animals in the petting areas and barns, and the farm runs seasonal activities such as lamb feeding in spring, so the experience changes through the year. Tractor rides and ride-on pedal tractors are offered alongside the animals. There are indoor and outdoor play areas, including a large covered sandpit, and a tea room serving lunches and home-made cakes. It suits families with toddlers and younger children who want a hands-on farm visit, and it is a convenient outing from Downham Market and King's Lynn.
Lamb feeding and bottle feeding in spring; Father Christmas visits in December (prices published separately).
Questions parents ask
- Is there food available, or should we bring a picnic?
- There is a tea room on site with a menu available. We haven't confirmed whether there's a picnic area, so it's worth checking with the venue if you'd prefer to bring your own food.
- What activities are there for different ages?
- The farm offers animal encounters, an outdoor adventure playground, an indoor treehouse play area, ride-on pedal tractors, tractor rides, and pig racing. With both indoor and outdoor facilities, there's variety for toddlers through to older children.
- Will we need to book in advance, or can we turn up on the day?
- Day tickets can be pre-booked online for up to 15% discount on the door price, though the page suggests you can also pay the full price on arrival. It's advisable to check availability before visiting.
