SECURE DOG FIELD

Bring your dog for exercise and play in the secure Dog Walking Field at Slamseys.

The field is fun for all dogs, but particularly suitable for nervous or reactive dogs. It’s an ideal place to bring your dog if it has more energy than you do.

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

CHRISTMAS TREES

The Christmas Tree Barn is now closed

Re-opens November 2023

Pull on your Christmas jumper, round up the family and come to the farm to choose your Christmas tree from the hundreds of trees displayed in The Christmas Tree Barn.

The yard is clean (no need for wellies unless there’s snow on the ground) and there is level access into the barn making it easy for wheelchairs and pushchairs.

Please don’t bring your dog into The Christmas Tree Barn, no matter how well behaved, unless it is an Assistance Dog.
