Nativity Scene


Christmas is a very special time on Ash End House Children´s farm. Included in the normal admission price the children are invited to dress up in costumes and join in a delightful Nativity Story in our old stables and with a real donkey, sheep and goats. Then we go and WAKE UP Father Christmas by singing "Jingle Bells". He is usually snoozing by the wood burning stove in the barn.

Ash End House Farm is a family owned farm which has been operating as a Childrens Farm for nearly 30 years. Our aim is to provide an enjoyable and educational hands on experience for children of all ages. We are open to the general public and specialize in guided tours for school parties and play groups.

Shire Horse Centre The Childrens Farm is not just for children! We have recently opened the new Shire Horse Centre. Click on the sign to learn more about our growing collection of Heavy Horses.

Egg Hatching
Girls 'n Goats

Children visiting the farm, either with their family or in a group booking, are given food to feed the animals, can have a newly hatched chick or duckling on their lap in a basket, collect an egg from the hen house to take home and have a farm badge of their choice. During our Spring Summer season the children are also invited to help bottle feed the lambs and kids.

They can touch, see, smell, feel and hear lots of friendly farm animals and have fun seeing the variety of poultry in our 'Funny Fowl' farm yard.


Lots of Undercover areas allow us to house many of our friendly farm animals indoors so your outing will not be spoilt by inclement weather, in fact, come on a rainy day and the farm will be quieter! Concrete walkways give wheelchair users access to all areas of the farm
