REAL Food and Farming

The animals from Hesketh Farm Park were a popular attraction in the children’s area at last year’s Kilnsey show and the organisers of REAL are pleased to announce that they’ll be making a welcome return this year.

There will be lots of smaller animals for visitors to become better acquainted with including guinea pigs and rabbits and staff on hand to explain more and give advice on how to get on well with our furry freinds.

The farm park is part of a 600 acre working farm situated in Bolton Abbey, one of the most picturesque parts of the Yorkshire Dales uplands.

Home to Sheep, Cattle, Pigs, Goats, Hens, Donkeys, Ponies, Rabbits and Guinea Pigs the park is an ideal place for children of all ages to get close to a variety of animals. They even have a giant Tortoise with a very unusual name!

Visitors to the park can take a stroll around the outdoor paddocks, or sit and relax around the pond with a picnic, scramble around on the outdoor playground or have fun on the huge outdoor pedal go-kart track. Or there’s a trip on the Tractor & Trailer with Farmer Chris who’ll explain what’s happening on the farm and experience some of the farm’s wildlife.
