Snowballing towards Spring!

We've never seen snow like it here at Holmbush Farm World! The farm has been completely blanketed in snow for the past two weeks but despite the worse conditions for decades, preparations are well in hand for the new season and the animals have been having a ball. It is not often our animals get to see their fields covered in so much snow and they really have been enjoying it. The Shetland ponies have had fun rolling in it and the llamas have been galloping around with glee. We don’t think our miniature donkeys had ever seen snow before and they were very intrigued – it has been great fun watching them all try to work out just what has happened to their usually green world! Their thick coats mean they are all pretty resilient to the wintry weather although we have had to bring in more hay and feed for them as even the most determined have struggled to dig through the snow to the grass! The farm’s famous woolly pigs have been particularly cosy under their rare curly locks and the alpachas don’t bat an eyelid in the cold weather thanks to their fabulous woollen coats.

We reopen on February 11 - whatever the weather - ready for the half term holidays with a number of new pieces of play equipment and an extensive calendar of special events lined up including magic shows, visiting clowns, circus workshops and snake, reptile and creepy crawlies events. First up will be Poz’s Magic and Punch and Judy Shows on February 16 and 17. It is fun here whatever the weather with plenty to see both inside and out including indoor animal barn, tea barn and indoor toddler soft play area. We look forward to seeing you all soon.
