Facts and information about Dodford Children's Farm

 

How can I help?

Looking for ways to help us?

 

  • Fund raise for us
  • Do you work somewhere that does corporate volunteering? - suggest a day at the farm
  • Become a regular volunteer (we need help with gardens, groundswork and the animals)
  • Sponsor an animal for £20 per year and get letters and pictures from your new furry or feathered friend
  • Tell people about us
  • Offer time and expertise as a one off
 

How can we see what a stay is like?

 
A: Ask us for a free DVD or contact details of someone else who has been to stay

 

What is included?

 

A: When a group comes to stay at the farm there are no hidden costs.  All food and drink is provided (groups choose main meals from a menu provided in advance). You need to arrange your own transport and that's it.  Residential children will feed the animals twice a day and have a donkey ride.  We can take you for a local countryside walk.  The only thing to buy is a postcard if you want one (but bring your own stamps!)

Short stay (per day)

How many can you accommodate?

A: Accommodation is available in the main house: we have 22 beds.  Many schools bring 17 children and 4 staff but you can bring less if you want to as we charge for the farmhouse not per person. Please note - our age limit is 9 yrs old.

Parents and children: Up to 4 families at one time including a self-contained flat - Families need to be referred by a professional working with them. 

 

How many children come per year?
A: On average, around 800 children come to the farm either for a residential stay or a day visit.

 

How do I go about bringing a group?

A: Visit our 'Schools' tab for lots of information.  Email or telephone the farm to ask about availability. 

 

Can I bring my children/grandchildren?

A: No, unfortunately we are not open to the public but look out for our annual open days. 

 

Do you have a 'Wish List'?
A: Yes we do - we'd be very grateful if someone could fund or donate any of the following items :
  • Mobile display boards
  • Children’s John Deere ride-on tractors
  • Art equipment
