Lancaster Park & Animal Farm was opened in 2011 by Benjamin Lancaster. Ben, who was born in 1940, started out as a coal miner before moving into demolition. The land he purchased for the Park was previoulsy used for landfill.
Today the farm is looked after by Ben’s children David, John and Lily alongside a small group of dedicated volunteers and staff members. The family are dedicated to improving and reinvesting in the farm and are sure you’ll see it get better and better over the coming years. They would like to say a massive thank you all those who have given their time to help build up the farm over the years… Onwards and upwards!
We aim to provide the best possible environment and lifestyle for each of our animals to help them lead a happy and healthy life.
Several are real characters and some can be quite naughty on occasion!
Hidden gem Fantastic place. We went with a teenager and a toddler and both were entertained all afternoon. It really is a hidden gem and we can't wait to go back.
Pushing a wheelchair is a no go. Staff very friendly , but not at all wheelchair accessible. Great for the kids . Prices are reasonable. Stopped for a soft drink after our walk around the farm. Very interactive for kids .
