Cholderton Charlie's Farm

Type: Farm

All ages will find something to enjoy at the farm. We are an approved RBST (Rare Breed Survival Trust) centre helping animals being saved from extinction. We have careful breeding programmes to maintain exquisite rare breeds of rabbit and poultry, including the Eriskay ponies, saddleback piglets and lots of other baby animals. Many special areas are under cover while there are still 42 acres of countryside and play areas to explore, including nature trails. At peak times there are twice daily pig races, chick/rabbit handling and tractor-trailer rides (call or email for up-to-date information). New play areas, buildings and facilities, including an indoor play barn, outdoor adventure play areas, sandpits, ride on tractors and trampolines have been added to increase the range of physical activities and under cover space to complement a day out in the country. Wet or dry there is plenty to do. Lots of additional extras available, including teachers’ packs, ‘Be a farmer for a day!’ function bookings (large or small) for those special occasions, like family reunions, birthday or Christmas parties and even Wedding receptions. The Ewe Tree Cafe serves fresh home cooked food and treats throughout the day. Our YHA Hostel (graded 4*) open year round, with 70 beds can be booked individually or as a whole for overnight stays after your party!
