Top 5 experiences not to miss at Pennywell Farm

If you’re looking for a family day out packed with adorable animals, hands-on experiences and plenty of memorable moments, Pennywell Farm is a must-visit.

Set in the beautiful South Devon countryside, and just a short scenic drive from Exeter, Pennywell offers families the chance to get closer to farm life through a packed programme of animal encounters, rides and activities.

Here are five Pennywell experiences you won’t want to miss.

Piggy Cuddles

One of Pennywell’s most famous and much-loved experiences, Piggy Cuddles are a real highlight for visitors of all ages.

Sit down and spend some special time with one of Pennywell’s adorable miniature pigs. These friendly little characters are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face, making this one of those experiences you’ll be talking about long after your visit. It’s also a brilliant photo opportunity – although you may find it difficult to resist taking far too many cute piggy pics!

Pig Racing

Will your chosen piggy take the crown? There’s only one way to find out!

Pig Racing is one of Pennywell’s longest-running and most popular activities, and it’s easy to see why. Simply pick your favourite pig (we always go for the cutest), find a spot around the track and get ready to cheer them on as they race towards the finish line. It’s fast, fun and guaranteed to get the whole family involved.

Goat Walking

For a truly hands-on farm experience, join Pennywell's entertaining goats for a gentle stroll around the farm. Enjoy the chance to interact with these curious and characterful animals, experience the farm at a slower pace while getting up close to some of its most playful residents.

Bottle Feeding

Guaranteed to be the cutest part of your day, few things are quite as adorable as a hungry baby animal, and Pennywell's Bottle Feeding gives visitors the chance to get involved.

It’s a wonderful opportunity for children to learn more about caring for animals while enjoying a memorable hands-on experience. Depending on the time of year, you could find yourself feeding lambs, kids or other young farm animals.

Tractor and Trailer Ride

Take a break from exploring on foot and climb aboard the Tractor and Trailer Ride for a tour around Pennywell. Enjoy views across the beautiful South Devon countryside, discover more of the farm and keep an eye out for animals along the way. It’s a fun experience for all ages and a great way to see more of Pennywell while giving tired little legs a well-earned rest.
