Please wear closed-toe footwear and comfortable outdoor clothing. Sweetlands is a real working farm, so visitors may come into contact with mud, straw, hay, dust and animal fur. Please dress for the weather.

We will continue where possible, but sessions may be adapted depending on the weather. If the weather is extreme or unsafe, Sweetlands Farm may cancel and offer an alternative date or refund in line with the booking policy.

Pushchairs are suitable around the café and yard areas, but not inside animal enclosures or all farm areas. Please be aware that some ground may be uneven.

Wheelchairs can access the café and yard areas, but not all animal enclosures or farm areas are fully accessible due to uneven ground and the nature of a working farm. Please contact us before booking if you would like to discuss accessibility.
