Customers about our company

We have just attended and it was absolutely amazing!! It’s a real farm feel, the animals look so content and happy and are so interactive. We paid a small price for the animal encounter with my toddler boy and Simone was absolutely amazing, she handled the animals with care, explained their past and why they are at the farm and we even had a few snuggles with some animals

. There was also another lady (I’m really sorry I don’t catch your name) but she was lovely, came and asked if we were okay, made sure we could see the sheep’s carefully and also connecting us with the staff for the animal encounter. Thank you

. Absolutely lovely farm that needs to be recognised a lot more. The staff were so friendly and absolutely amazing and so informative!! Thank you Wellgate, we will 100% be back

Spent the morning at Wellgate Community Farm and got to feed goats, baby piggies, sheep and held some little chicks. They have lots of rescue animals on the farm. I think Ps favourite was the farm cat!

So nice to be somewhere that was safe for P to run around.

The farm is looked after by volunteers so it’s free to get in and you can leave donations. When I went there were lots of teenagers doing all the hard work. They were so helpful and looked like they were having fun.

Also got to sit and enjoy the ponies from Debbie’s bench
