“Mummy please can we go to Bocketts Farm today. Please Mummy, please?”. A very specific (and incredibly polite!) request from our recently turned four-year-old so off we went with the farm in our sights.
Located in Fetcham, near Leatherhead, Bocketts is a working farm and lots of fun. Even in the Winter months there is loads for us to occupy ourselves with – both indoors and out. We did drop in to see a few of the rabbits and guinea pigs when we arrived at Little Hoppington. After we left them we said hello to each of the horses – by name. POD was most excited about the Big Animal Barn as she wanted to feed the goats. Not before asking this sleeping pig where her babies were though!
It took numerous visits to Bocketts Farm before POD attempted feeding the animals herself. Since then there’s been no stopping her! She happily chats away to them about who their friends are as well as asking the obligatory “are you hungry?”.
These two goats in particular were very interested in POD paper bag and the clumsy way in which she fed them!
After exhausting our food supplies, we checked our the racing piggies and the deer. Then it was playtime.
There is a wonderful outdoor play area at Bockett’s Farm and POD loves it. Even more so than the indoor one!
There is so much to do and she even mastered coming down a larger slide on her back!
Before checking out the local views!
We couldn’t resist a pony ride. POD has only been on one once before and she took to it brilliantly.
She looked so confident and so amazingly grown up!
The lighting was great too with the sun beginning to set behind her. It’s no surprise she didn’t want to leave!

I remember taking my children to Bocketts Farm when they were young, I had no idea back then I would end up with my own version of Bocketts Farm! I love the photos of POD on the pony, she does look very grown up there.
This looks like a wonderful place, just our sort of day out. Anywhere with a pony ride gets my vote. I stuck Baby on a donkey when she was 9 months old and she was a star, been on a couple of ponies since. I think it will be her getting a pony rather than me ever getting another horse. Gorgeous pictures x
Looks like another lovely day out but POD appears very worried by the lack of piglets! Bocketts Farm is great fun.
What a lovely fun day out that looks. Love the goat feeding.
What stunning photos as always, what a wonderful place!
We love Bocketts and are planning a visit next week. Easily the best farm/soft play that we have ever been to!
Awww love her expressions here! It has been awhile since we last feed animals. I wish we can do this again! #whatsthestory
Your photos are stunning. And your little girl. Wow. Love her hat too! I especially like the one of her looking out a window type thing. Absolutely beautiful. #whatsthestory
Love the second photo! My youngest wore a similar expression to a local farm last year.
Pod looks gorgeous! Soon she’ll be asking for regular riding lessons as she already looks so natural and confident on the pony.
What a great place. Looks like a lot of fun
Gorgeous photos!! We LOVE Bocketts and are regulars there. Those greedy goats always snatch the bags right out the kids hands! Love the pony riding too. Such a fun place for them and at least you can escape inside to the play barn if its too cold or raining, let them burn off some steam and you have well deserved coffee! x
What a fab day out, POD looks like she’s having a great time feeding all the animals. She looks very at home up on the horse, I could definitely see her taking it up as a hobby. It looks like they’ve got a great play area there too, that slide looks tremendous. Thanks for linking up with Country Kids.
Bless her. I love her hat! Soo cute x
