Please DO NOT bring any food for the goats in with you.
Throughout our summer season (April-October), the sanctuary is open Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays (not Wednesdays!) from 11am-4pm.
Across the winter season (November-March), we run reduced hours of Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, from 11am-3pm.
Please note that during school holidays, the sanctuary will always be open six days a week.
During your visit, you will be free to roam and relax amongst the goats, however there is a small ‘off-limits’ area, which is for goats only, so that they have someone quiet to retreat to if they so wish. It is also worth noting, that any goats wearing RED COLLARS can be temperamental, so will require a bit more space, and we recommend not petting them.
Feeding the goats is a must-do for your visit! This can be done from within the feeding area, and cost £1 per bag. We ask that you do not bring your own food for the goats in with you, and that you do not re-enter the paddock until ALL FEED HAS BEEN USED. We also ask that you DO NOT FEED GOATS WEARING PURPLE COLLARS, as these animals are often on special diets and/or have trouble chewing!
When you are ready for a break, the Buttercups Tea Room can provide you with hot drinks, cold drinks, crisps, cakes, snack bars and Ice-Cream (all the best stuff!). If you wish to bring a picnic, we recommend leaving it in your car until required, and you MUST NOT OPEN IT until you are in a goat free area.
Whilst you are visiting, you may wish to keep an eye out for our Adoption Goats, who will be wearing a yellow collar. These individuals can be adopted for £20 a year, and can make a cute addition to your visit.

Reviews
Best Relaxant Ever
I just love sitting, petting the very happy goats. If you are stressed it is the biggest stress reliever ever!!! Love that everything you spend money on will go towards looking after the goats. I will be visiting as often as possible.
Well Worth A Visit
Well worth a visit. Very child-friendly. Goats clearly loved and well cared for. Very hands-on experience for visitors. Helpful, cheerful staff. Had a lot of fun here.
A gentle sanctuary for goat and visitors
A lovely relaxing place. Great to see the Goats just roaming free. Plenty of willing goats looking for a gentle fuss, plus the opportunity to feed some of them if you purchase a bag of goat feed for £1. Definitely worth the visit.
Sponsored Goat Visit
Lovely couple of hours spent relaxing amongst all the goats. The atmosphere is wonderful and you could honestly sit and watch them all day. Will happily come back with friends/family.
