Easter is a time of renewed life. During your visit you may see the deer stags are starting to ‘cast’, with ‘buttons’ of new antlers starting to show. The hinds are pregnant, with calves due from May. Nurturing our majestic deer herds is essential and all our deer will have their bi-annual health check soon.

During April there will be more opportunities for fun and a memorable day:

• Opening Hours – throughout the Easter Holiday the Farm Experience is open seven days a week, Monday 3^rd April to Monday 17^th Allowing plenty of long days for animal lovers, young and old, to explore our Farm Trail and meet and feed our herds of deer and have hours of fun in the Adventure Playground!
