Bocketts Farm is a working farm located in the Surrey countryside. It’s a wonderful place to visit as there’s a mix of large and small animals – not to mention a range of play areas. Peppa Pig came too albeit in hairslide form!
After filling our bellies, we headed over the to the Big Animal Barn. There we saw Zebedee the zebu, sheep, lambs, cows, a large pig, a donkey and several excitable goats. POD wanted to feed the animals but decided it was far more entertaining to watch Mummy being slobbered on.
After much hilarity in the Big Animal Barn, POD befriended nearby ducks and geese. These two even formed a heart shape for us!
Next were the racing pigs and a few bearded goats before meeting horses, ponies and donkeys. POD wanted to know all their names!
She then enjoyed climbing, sliding and making tea in one of the outdoor play areas before testing her tractor skills. She would have been on a digger too if someone hadn’t beaten her to it!
POD missed two giant astroslides in the new heated playbarn as she sped past but found more tractors to drive, trampolines to bounce across and cows to milk. Not to mention a whole host of ride-ons!
Inside Little Hoppington, POD saw a variety of small fluffy animals before handling a guinea pig, a rabbit and a chicken! Definitely the highlight of our visit – just look at that happy face!
We’re linking this post up with #whatsthestory here on PODcast – this week’s Linky is here if you’d like to join in.
Sounds like a great day out. Lots of lovely pictures too. popping over from #whatsthestory
Thank you Afra, was great fun 🙂
Look at her happy face with that rabbit! Looks lovely there and very nice of those geese to make a heart shape for you 🙂
She absolutely loved stroking that big fluffy rabbit! Fabulous farm, loved it there 🙂
What a fabulous day out and I love your pictures. Your daughter looks like she loved it 🙂
Thank you Melissa – she had such a good time 🙂
Looks like Pod really had a wonderful day out. Farms and animals are always fun, no matter what your age. Great hairslide btw:) x
She had a fabulous time there, amazed she sped past the new slides there! Such a good combination of animals and play there too 🙂
Ooh going to add this to my list of places to visit when we stay with my parents – that Shetland Pony, awww! #WhatsTheStory
You so should Luci, it’s great there – so many play areas too, especially outdoors 🙂
Lambs already! And I just love that bunny (I fear it would be hard to resist trying to take one home!).
I know it does seem so early doesn’t it – although Spring seems early too! They were so lovely 🙂
Bockets Farm was always one of our very favourite places when my kiddies were small – so friendly and easy to get around. Do they still have the ‘epic’ trampolines?
They do still have epic trampolines – big ones! Sounds like you want to go on one yourself 🙂
My FIL is a dairy farmer, so we just tend not to go places like this, but I do love lambs!
How exciting, must be great having a real life farmer in the family 🙂
What a great day. Loving how you captured a heart shape with the ducks.
Thank you very much – was lovely there 🙂
Gorgeous photos Charly, POD looks like she loved every minute, what a fab place!
POD had a lovely time thank you – once she’d got over the fear of the horses! She was fine after that though 🙂
looks like great fun! that last pic is so cute
Thank you Anna 🙂
These are amazing pictures. I love kids and animals in photos. They are so interested in each other. Great post!!!
Thank you Jenny, they’re just brilliant together aren’t they 🙂
Oh that looks gorgeous! Our local farm doesn’t enforce another two months yet due to the cold weather and I’m itching to take the kids back there!
It will be so better in that case when you arrive won’t it. They’re just such good fun Kate 🙂
My boys would want to bring the rabbit home!
Hehe POD did ask if she could have it 🙂
What fantastic pictures Charly, it looks a great place to visit and the hair slide was very appropriate 🙂
It really was wasn’t it Jeannette! Thank you 🙂
Aww, a visit to the farm is always a lot of fun!
It really is Michelle – such good fun 🙂
Fab post and am always in awe of your photos. My gorgeous OH brought me a grownup camera this weekend which I collect next weekend – am sooo excited at being able to (hopefully) take some really good photos #whatsthestory
You’re too kind Cathie! How exciting you have a new camera coming, that is very exciting indeed 🙂
What a lovely day out!
And so many farm animals to meet…
It was great – thank you 🙂
Nothing like a visit to the farm with little ones
So much fun Mary 🙂
What gorgeous photos. Those lambs are just adorable (as is POD!)
Thank you 🙂
Looks like a great day out!
Was great Jenny 🙂
It looks likes lovely day out. A really wonderful way to spend some time in the great outdoors, and getting to stroke some cute animals is a huge bonus!
Thank you Louisa – POD had the best time 🙂
This sounds like the perfect day out for my 2. Look at the fluffy bunny! How cute!
They’d so love it – so much to do there. Can’t wait until Spring time we’ll be able to have a picnic too 🙂
Lovely photos. I can’t wait to take the Mini Grumpy Egyptian to the zoo when she gets a little older 🙂
The zoo would be so much fun. We’ve not taken POD to the zoo yet, hope to in the Summer 🙂
What a fab day out and about. i am having trouble deciding who was the cutest in the photos… they all look so damn adorable.
Thank you – the donkeys, the lambs and the rabbits were rather fabulous 🙂
Wow – what a great day put out! It’s been far to long since me and the kids have gone to a working farm – I find them fascinating 🙂
Thank you Vicky, was good fun. So much to see and do too 🙂
Looks like you had a great time down at the farm. 🙂
Fabulous time thank you Helen 🙂
Gorgeous photos, looks like POD had a super time xx
She really did – thank you Sara 🙂
What a lovely little farm – I have to admit we have one here and to this day I sometimes pop down with the other half or a friend – I’m a total animal lover. x
How lovely you still pop down to the farm, they’re good fun aren’t they 🙂
I love taking Eliza to the farm. The racing pigs are her favourite too!
Brilliant, the racing pigs are excellent!
I used to go there loads as a kid, absolutely loved it! Still have yet to take the boys. Lovely pictures 🙂 x
You really must at some point Charlotte – so much to do there. Large outdoor play area but one indoors if it rains. Plus the animals of course!
Looks like a lovely place to be – the photo of your little one ‘driving’ is just stunning. #whatsthestory
Aww thank you Kate 🙂
What a fantastic time! My girls used to love this type of day out too… 🙂 xx
Such great fun, POD loved it 🙂
Sounds like a lovely place to visit and your photos are gorgeous!
Thank you so much Kel – it’s good fun there 🙂
This is too much….. these photos are gorgeous, love the sheep, the heart shaped geese, and I so badly want to squeeze PODS cheeks. X
Looks great! We love farm trips. The photos are super cute.
[…] Last time we visited POD was a little wary of the animals in the stables at first. On this occasion she wanted to know what each horse was called, what it was doing and what it ate. There were goats nearby and whilst they were a bit to lively for her, we were optimistic this was the day she’d feed animals herself. […]
[…] rain was never far away! You’d never know from this photograph how much rain we saw on our visit to Bocketts Farm although we were safely inside stroking animals […]
