Over the year Longdown has been a source of inspiration for many thousands of school children and they hope to be able to continue this for many more years.

The objectives at Longdown are to provide all visitors with the opportunity to meet lots of friendly farm animals. They can hold a chick, bottle-feed calves and lambs, brush the minature ponies, watch the milking and get an insight into how a modern farm is managed. Adults can try their hand at being a farmer for the day (this must be pre-booked).

A free fully guided tour is arranged for every group of school children visiting the farm. This is tailored to suit the age group and the ability of the children and lasts between 2 - 2.30 hours. School visits must be pre-booked.

The costs involved for school visits are £2.95 per child in a group of 15 or more, with 1 free adult per 10 children and additional adults at £3.95.

Prices for the general public are £4.30 for adults and £3.00 for children - aged 3-14 years.

Longdown Activity Farm will be open from
31 March - 28 October 2001 and will be taking pre-booked school groups from the beginning of March.

Longdown has a play area, picnic area, gift shop and washing facilities throughout the farm. Most areas have access for the disabled.
