Thornton Hall Farm Country Park


Have fun and make farmyard friends

Description

A family run, spotlessly clean, Award Winning Country Farm Park situated on the border of Pendle and the Yorkshire Dales…
Experience hands on animal encounters on our traditional working farm, hitch a ride in our 4 x 4 Adventure Experience and relax in our country tearoom while the little ones burn off the remainder of their energy in our huge fun filled Wizzick Play Barn… a fun filled, informative family day out, RAIN OR SHINE!

we welcome over 7,000 school children to our farm each year and are so passionate about our Educational programmes, so much so we decided to shout about it - and guess what?! we won an award for them! The NFAN awarded us the Highly Commended award in the category 'Best in Education'

so don't take our word for it - come and see for yourself! We really do look forward to welcoming you to our farm...

(September 2023 - Primary School)




brillinat facilities and opportunities for children to get up close with the animals. (June 2023 - Primary School)




Great hands on experiences and encounters with a variety of animals. Full enriched learning programme, fully planned and structured. Great farm leaders taking the groups around. (June 2023 - Primary School)




(March 2023)




Some organisational points need a bit of work, eg. The farm needs some toilets and sinks close to where children eat dinner and store their belongings to prevent time wasted in walking back and forth and more hand washing facilities that young children can use independently. (August 2022 - Primary School)




(June 2022 - Primary School)




A Great end of year trip after a COVID year of not being able to go anywhere. The small group of SEN pupils loved this. The safari ride was the best bit. It isn't clear at first but carers are free so they refunded 4 adults and we then could book onto the Safari ride. (September 2021 - Secondary School)




Excellent organisation within Covid guidelines, easy and efficient booking process. (July 2021 - Primary School)




Fabulous day out, kids had a wonderful time. (July 2019 - Primary School)




Completely appropriate for the age group that went. The talks were interesting and engaging and the activities on offer were well liked. In our own time there was indoor facilities and an outdoor playground that were both interesting and safe. (July 2019 - Primary School)




(July 2019 - Primary School & Secondary School)




Excellent day, friendly staff and well organised. The pupils loved all the activities! (June 2019 - Primary School)
