Lovely place

The place itself is quite small and lives off the cuteness of its inhabitants, several sheep, pigs, alpaka, donkeys and similar animals. Please don't mistake this place for a zoo, its more of a educational farm with enclosed shop and shows. The show itself was really entertaining, we were shown two sheepdogs with different approaches to their task, some interactive shepherding games and even a live shearing of one sheep before the kids got to bottle-feed some lambs. Visiting the farm and seeing the show should not take more than about 3 hours, if you can make time for it and are in the area have a look!

Fantastic time

We really enjoyed seeing all the animals and feeding them. The sheep and dog show in particular was a highlight - informative and fun!

We love animals!

Such a fun place! Lovely animals (including some precious lambs, as its lambing season right now), and amazing staff who obviously also love their animals. Be sure to go along on a feeding run, and feed the animals yourself. And plan to grab lunch and coffee at the warm, inviting cafe as well. We'll be back, for sure.

I have already changed my booking to 30 April 2022. Why do I still receive the notice and this? Apparently your system is not updated accordingly. I have contacted Jen Lorigan in Sheepworld on 22 February 2022. Regards Su/Yin Tsai

Thank you Suresh. Please visit again on a day when we have a Dog & Sheep Show, as that is a lot more interesting for adults. We are planning to get to a daily show as soon as we can. Regards. Sheepworld.
