Nestled in East London, we visited this farm for their Christmas festivities over the weekend. Our family tradition is to visit a farm over Christmas and so when we stumbled onto this, we had to go. It was easy to get to and was also free!
Although the event was timed from 2-4pm, all the exciting activities were finishing at 3 which led to a lot of rushing around as we only arrived at 2./0pm. We had to see Santa who was very nice and we loved the whole setting. It was ticketed and came at a cost but also included arts and crafts with elves (we loved seeing little children dressed as elves). The arts and crafts involved card making and ornaments for the Christmas tree. The kids loved it. There was also entertainment from local dance school who were really good!
Once Santa was done, we went to ride on a donkey. It was also costed but reasonable. The kids has a blast on them!
There was fairground rides as well as a lovely Christmas market.
We then visited the farm animals who were a bit rowdy which made the kids laugh so much! We fed the sheep, we saw lamas and saw a variety of pigs including a massive ginger pig which looked like a cow from far! However, the real rowdy animals were the squirrels. Not only were they looking for food and eyeing you up, they also climbed on you! They were really naughty squirrels!
As a whole, we had a great afternoon and glad that we visited although the initial rush. It is worth a visit for when money is tight!
