Party with the Pygmy Goats

We’re off to meet the Woollies, the Wonderful Woollies of Brockholes!

Meet us at the “Baaaaa” where the welcome brews are on us (or squash, little ones!) and whack on your wellies (even in summer these beautiful little grotters can generate a fair bit of mud!) then, armed with fresh treats - join us in a wander to meet our playful pygmys.

Naturally inquisitive, our pygmys are quite at home living and mixing with the sheep and donkeys however they generally dont know when to stop, and they like to start things they are too small to finish - So off to the goat paddock we go!  Alongside whatever attention they need that day (from grooming to footchecks to weighing) we will chat about their routines including their regular pedicures, their various personalities, and how the one you think is the quitest and cutest is actually the fight starter of the group!  They also generally can’t resist a handful of their favourite goat food!

We’ll also pass by some of our other resident farm friends on the way (and give them some treats of course!), including our Special Attention Field where anyone who may need a little extra special care lives.

Once you have overdosed on the incredible cuteness you are then free to explore the farm, take a walk along the river, get all nostalgic on our fairy tale trail, get to grips with nature on our habitat trail or say hi to the rest of the farm residents again.

Meeting the goats is generally an outdoor event and we encourage you to come prepared for Cumbrian weather!
