Slamseys Farm, Blackley Lane, Great Notley, Braintree, Essex
SLAMSEYS FARM
A family farm in the Essex countryside, just south of Great Notley where you can exercise your dog in the Secure Dog Field, buy a Christmas tree or walk along the Public Footpaths.
SECURE DOG FIELD
Bring your dog for exercise and play in the secure Dog Walking Field at Slamseys.

There is only one booking for each time slot, which means that you have the field to yourself for your booked session.

We have a few Nordmann Fir trees (approximately 4 – 7 foot high) left and will keep The Christmas Tree Barn open until we’ve sold out, which will probably be Friday 20th December.
A Dog Field for Christmas
Christmas bookings are open for Slamseys Dog Field. Secure and private space for your dog at Christmas time.
