Cotswold Farm Park – the award-winning visitor attraction nestled on the outskirts of beautiful Guiting Power, Gloucestershire – is inviting groups for a unique visit to discover more about the Farm’s fascinating history, its dedication to preserving rare breed farm animals, and its interaction with the surrounding Cotswold National Landscape (aka Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).
Cotswold Farm Park, which is run by farmer and TV presenter, Adam Henson and his business partner, Duncan Andrews, offers a wide range of annual activities for visitors of all ages, allowing them to interact closely with over 50 rare and native breeds of farm animals and learn about the farm’s practices, both past and present.
Cotswold Farm Park offer two tailored options for groups to ensure a memorable day out. The Heritage Package (designed for a minimum of 20 people, and available weekdays during school term time) offers groups the opportunity to delve into the fascinating history of the farm, from its origins in 1971 by Adam’s father, Joe Henson, to its present-day as a 650-hectare mixed holding and popular visitor attraction, with a talk led by an experienced and knowledgeable guide. Optional homemade refreshments are available to add on to create a bespoke visit, including a classic finger buffet (£17.95 per person), a traditional afternoon tea (£26.95 per person) or a hot plated seasonal meal created to suit all dietary requirements (price available on request).
The Standard Group Package (available year-round, offering 10% discount on day ticket prices for groups of 20 or more) is the perfect choice for groups with their own itinerary in mind, particularly those wishing to combine a visit to the Farm Park with stops at the charming neighbouring villages of Bourton-on-the-Water, Broadway, Winchcombe or Stow-on-the-Wold – all conveniently located within a short drive from Cotswold Farm Park.
Group visitors can get up close and meet the farm’s animal residents, which includes over 50 breeds across seven different species of British farm animals, including Golden Guernsey goats and majestic Highland cattle. Follow the Rare Breeds Trail to discover more about these fascinating animals and the importance of conservation. Pause at one of the viewing platforms or benches to take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. The Farm Park has concrete, gravelled and grassy walkways, wide enough to accommodate wheelchair users, and working assistance dogs are permitted throughout the farm.
Set off on the self-guided Cotswold Farm Park Wildlife Walking Trail (route marked, with printed maps available from the Gift Shop) to immerse yourself in the surrounding Cotswold National Landscape, which includes a stunning vista overlooking Gorse Valley towards the picturesque village of Kineton, and discover the thriving biodiversity of Barton Bushes, designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Afterwards, settle down for a well-earned rest at The Ox Shed restaurant and cafe with a hot drink and homemade treat.
Cotswold Farm Park also features a Holidays site with a selection of lodges, glamping tents, camping pods and pitches, which is well-equipped to accommodate group bookings for those looking for a longer stay.
