About 40 goats, plus sheep, bunnies, hens and a Highland calf. All used to visitors, all happy to see you coming with a feed cup.

About 40 of them, playful and always curious. Usually the first to the fence when the feed comes out.
Bunnies
Soft, gentle, and out for scheduled petting times, the calmest stop for the littlest visitors.
Sheep
Calm and easygoing, and happy to take a handful of feed, great for kids who are a little cautious around animals.
Hens
Free-roaming around the barn, fun to watch, and part of the scheduled petting times alongside the bunnies.
Feeding the Animals
Feed cups are sold at admissions, the Honey Shop, Red Barn Pizza and the Splashing Snack Shack, so pick one up on your way over and every visitor gets the chance to reach through the fence and feed the goats, sheep, bunnies, hens and Highland calf by hand. There's a brush at the calf's pen too. Brushing that shaggy coat is a quiet favourite. Petting is limited to the bunnies and chickens, at scheduled times, so the animals stay calm and everyone stays safe. Outside food isn't permitted in the barn, please stick to our feed cups.
Farm Animals You Can Actually Feed
If you've been looking for farm animals near London, here's how the Animal Barn works: about 40 goats, plus sheep, bunnies, hens and a Highland calf, are all right there at the fence, and feed cups are sold on-site (admissions, the Honey Shop, Red Barn Pizza or the Splashing Snack Shack) so every visitor, not just the first few in line, gets to reach through and feed them by hand. There's a brush at the calf's pen for anyone who wants to give that shaggy coat a good scratch. Feeding is the main event here, and the bunnies and chickens come out for scheduled petting times (see the daily schedule) so the littlest kids get their moment too. It's included with regular admission, so there's no separate ticket on top of your day pass or season pass.
The barn is one easy, walkable stop on the farm, which makes it a natural fit for families with a mix of ages, from toddlers who just want to look and giggle to older kids who want to feed a goat themselves. It's a quick visit if you're short on time, or a spot worth lingering in if the animals are the highlight of your day.
