cracking Easter ideas
The Heavy Horse Farm Park near Verwood is always a big hit for regular and new visitors who love to meet the heavy horses and their farmyard friends. Pony rides, play areas, undercover go kart arena, new monster adventure play area, giant western bouncy castle and olde world fairground ride. Smokey Joe’s café for home cooked food, cakes and cream teas. Wagon rides, tractor and trailer rides, or get the chance to ‘drive’ a real farm tractor! A super value, memorable day out. By visiting, you will help support a permanent home for over 20 rescued Heavy Horses. Open daily 10am-4.30pm 5 April–1 November.
With new life popping up everywhere there are lots of new animals to meet this Easter. Try your hand at bottle-feeding gorgeous baby lambs and see what’s hatching in the incubators. Watch resident swallows feeding chicks on the hatchery’s nest cam. Wild Skills demonstrations - have a go at shelter building, fire lighting and animal tracking. Easter egg hunt in the Victorian gardens on Easter Sunday and an Easter bonnet competition. Cream teas. There’s so much to see and do! Situated 2 miles north of Wimborne Minster on B3078 - BH21 4JD. For more information or to book a Wild Skills session see the advertisement on this page.
