With each season there's something always fresh to see, from newborn lambs and calves to harvesting and haymaking. There's plenty of opportunity to get up close to animals at our farm. Jump aboard the Farm Explorer for a rattling good ride between the museum and the farm!

You'll find plenty of life down on our 1950s working farm: award-winning Ayshire cattle, Aberdeen Angus cattle, Tamworth pigs, Black-faced sheep and a friendly Clydesdale horse.
