Old Macdonald’s Farm welcomed a new member to the family on September 28the 2017 a lovely baby jack/donkey was born to Mother Scarlett and Daddy Douglas.

We are pleased to announce that he has been checked over by our farm vet and he is perfectly healthy. You can meet our new addition at the farm in our donkey field with his mum where he can be seen very playing happily and receiving loads of love and attention. We currently do not have a name for our baby jack/donkey so why not head over to our facebook page and help us name him with your suggestions!

Old Macdonald’s Farm held its annual Armed forces day on Saturday the 7th of October by opening for the our serving men and women’s families for them to enjoy a family free day out to say thank you for all that they do. This is has been an annual event for Old Macdonald’s Farm for 7 years now and a very popular one at that, we had a great turnout this year and we are always greeted by such lovely, kind people.

It is so nice to know that the armed forces are appreciated. My family had the most wonderful day and my son will remember it for a very long time.

Many thanks

Old MacDonald has donated an amazing £1000.00 to the Zoological Society of Hertfordshire (ZSH) charity based at Paradise Wildlife Park. ZSH has a very knowledgeable and passionate team who care for animals and raise funds to support wildlife conservation projects both in the UK and around the globe. Whilst the projects supported vary from year to year, ranging from indigenous British species such as hedgehogs and water voles, to red pandas and tigers, a key focus for ZSH is the conservation, in their natural habitat, of many threatened and endangered species.

The Farm is the perfect place to celebrate Mothers Day. At this time of year you can expect to see some of our mothers looking after their newborns. Plus, you can get involved in some creative activities with Mary Martin from Artbound, who will be encouraging children to make special presents for their mothers which they get to take away with them on the day, all inclusive within the entry fee!
