Our open farm is full of friendly animals who love meeting new people. Visit them up close in their home and learn about them in the great outdoors.
Our open farm is home to a variety of different animals including chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, donkeys, ponies, alpacas, pigs, goats, guinea pigs, and peacocks.
All the animals that live on the farm have their own individual personalities. Most of them are lovely and friendly but a few are a bit cheeky by getting up to mischief around the farm. Nevertheless they all enjoy meeting new people and saying hello.

Guinea Pig Appeal
Help us surprise Snowy, Pickles and all of our beautiful guinea pigs at the Country Centre with a very special treat!
With Summer fast approaching, we are hoping to raise £250 to purchase an awning for them so that they can enjoy nibbling the grass and playing outside without getting too hot. If you would like to donate £2 or whatever you can spare, that would be amazing! The guinea pigs bring so much joy to the people we support and also to our visitors. Help us buy this lovely treat for them. |
Donate a Bale of Hay
Could you help feed our animals by donating a bale of hay?
Every day is a hay day when it comes to looking after the animals on the open farm. By donating £6, your wonderful contribution will go towards purchasing bales of hay to feed the animals here at the Aldingbourne Country Centre. Please don’t worry, you won’t find a bale of hay on your doorstep – it’s purely a generous donation from you to help us feed the farm animals. |
