Visting Sacrewell Farm, near Peterborough




Well, I had promised to take Aimee to the swimming baths this weekend, but Hollee thought it’d be a better idea to have a day out at a local country farm. Which would probably have been true – as Aimee loves seeing farm animals – but, to be completely blunt, Sacrewell Farm appears to be a complete and utter rip-off.

£5.50 per adult to enter, then another two lots of 50p for feed for the animals, which came in two seperate containers for different animals. They also said something about claiming Gift Aid on our admission – which would be fair enough, except they charged another £1 on the entry fee to do so. I’ve no idea how that works. I’ve no idea where the money goes, because it doesn’t appear to be on the animals or the upkeep of the farm. Their on-site conference centre appeared to be thriving though….

A far cry from the likes of Cannon Hall (£4 entry) and even Heeley City Farm (FREE!, but please do make a donation!) in Sheffield – both of which had many, many more animals and a lot more going on besides.

Nevertheless, Aimee really enjoyed it, what little animals there were.
