Visitors to the Farm are encouraged to wash their hands thoroughly after touching any animals. During lambing we ask the public to not touch young lambs.

Even outside lambing, maintain hygiene when around farm animals, washing hands with soap and water before using hand sanitizer or baby wipes.

These precautions significantly reduce risk, though the chance of infection from farm animals is generally low.

Avoid Direct Involvement: Do not help ewes give birth or assist with newborn lambs.

Limit Contact: Do not touch or interact with any pregnant ewes, goats, lambs and kids.

Practice Hygiene: Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after any farm contact, using the hand washing stations at the farm.

Dogs must be on leads and under control around livestock and in the animal areas.

The cafe is dog friendly so they are allowed in the courtyard and in the pets corner as long as they are on leads.

All dog fouling is to be cleared up to prevent the spread of disease and keep the farm safe for children.

Unfortunately the Mudchute Equestrian Centre is now closed and Mudchute no longer stable horses.

Mudchute Park and Farm is free to visit. Donations are welcome at the donation points around the farm. There are many ways to support Mudchute such as Sponsoring an Animal or becoming a member.

Donkey rides are only available during late Spring / Summer, and are weather dependent. Outside of special events, Donkey rides are normally offered on Sundays during the Summer.

Absolutely!

Information is available here

Some of the fields at Mudchute are closed so we can graze the animals safely. Also there are occasional events hosted on the fields - more information about these events can be found here.

Animal Petting in Pets Corner is available during school holidays on specific days. Please see our News/Events and Social media for dates and times. Please note this is animal petting where you can touch and stroke the animals. To ensure the safety of our animals and visitors we do not allow animal handling.
