It's lambing time!

Lambing has begun! The Holmbush Farm family is expanding fast. Alongside our squeeky little piglets we now have lambs. The sun is shining, the lambs are frolicking and it seems Spring is definitely now in the air. So come on down and meet our new additions and perhaps you can help with the bottle-feeding too!

Piglets, piglets everywhere!

Phew! What a busy, busy couple of weeks we have had on the farm since we opened! Excitingly, our famous woolly pig Winston has become a grandpa. His daughters have all been producing! Gertrude has produced five healthy piglets; and Gemima's joined in and had four piglets, then Geraldine had triplets followed by Grace who had five! How crazy is that - it's piglets, piglets everywhere! Come on down, they havent got their curly woolly coats yet but they are certainly adorable! Coming soon....lambing!!!

We're Open!

Yippee! Today's the day Holmbush Farm World reopens for the new season. Can't wait to see you all again very soon. If you are planning a visit, don't forget to check out our new calendar of events for 2012.

Wizardly wonders

The Halloween fun just goes on and on...

Beyond the spooky sights and sounds of Halloween during half term, there will also be a visit from Wally the Wizard on October 28. Check him out here and come on down to enjoy our last week of the season.

Halloween at Holmbush

Holmbush Farm is all set for a half-term of happy horrors following the arrival of an incredible new animal in its popular visitor barns. Down among the pigs, sheep, chickens and goats, visitors to the farm will now find a dragon lurking! Breathing smoke and prepared for all sorts of ghostly goings on, he's the star attraction during a week of Halloween high jinx from October 22 – 30.Halloween is always a thrilling time at Holmbush with creepy creatures putting in an appearance, and this year there will be a dragon’s den haunted by a ghostly Saint George, come to slay him, not to mention wicked witches, pumpkins galore and lots of fun Halloween crafts and spooky things to make and do. Take a tractor ride through the freaky forest if you dare or visit on October 26 & 27 to see some slightly smaller cold-blooded reptiles and snakes making a special visit with their handler Steve. The creative staff at the farm have been working overtime to create chills and thrills throughout the farm park and pictured here with the roaring dragon are (Pic 1) Louise Hurdman, Jaqui Tripp and Jo Bristow, all of Faygate.

Flower-power and dragons!

Did you see us at the Rudgwick Steam Rally? We were looking good! It was the rally's 25th anniversary so everyone dressed up in style. The Holmbush Farm gang revisited their flower-power days for their costumes and also had a special guest on their stand - an amazing dragon! If you missed him, don't worry - you may well be able to meet him again during our special Halloween week in October which this year has a Dungeons and Dragons theme. He's a real winner.

Watch this space!

Get crafty with some all weather fun!

Never mind the weather - there is always something fun to do down at Holmbush Farm World. Tomorrow we have one of our special craft corner activity events so come on down and get creative. With soft play in the tea rooms, under cover hay bales to climb, indoor animal barns and inside pedal-tractor track there is plenty to do even if the rain is threatening! There are craft events at the farm throughout this month - on August 12, 19 & 26. See you there!
