Church Farm Rare Breeds Centre, Stow Bardolph

Church Farm Rare Breeds Centre is a really lovely farm to visit, full of rare breed animals all looking very relaxed and happy in their respective environments. It’s a superb way of giving you the chance to get up close and personal to animals that you wouldn’t normally see, let alone be able to touch.
And who doesn’t like cuddling guinea pigs, stroking goats and feeding lambs, or funniest of all, watching some pig racing?!
Animal encounters are available when you visit Church Farm Rare Breeds Centre, but be aware that it is dependent on the particular seasons. For example, lambing time is from February to May. Pig racing takes place when lambing has finished etc.
And once you’ve spent your time looking and being with all the animals, you don't need to go home! There are so many other activities that the children can do, you won’t be bored here!
You may even want your children to run off a bit of excess energy by going for a woodland walk or in the indoor and outdoor play areas.
