The Big Sheep.
About
The Big Sheep is Devon’s most popular family theme park, located in the historic village of Abbotsham. The park blends over‐the‑top thrills with gentle family rides, a vast all‑weather indoor playground (Ewetopia), and a working farm that hosts live sheep races, duck trials, lamb‑feeding shows and a petting zoo. Visitors can enjoy Devon’s biggest family roller‑coaster, Rampage, a boutique micro‑brewery, fresh food cafés, and a range of self‑service entertainment, all while exploring a landscaped countryside setting. The main season runs from April to October, with weekend and special‑event openings in the winter months. The park is a favourite for children and adults alike, offering an array of attractions suitable for all ages. From the high‑speed coaster to the gentle toddler rides, the indoor playground, and the interactive animal encounters, there’s something to keep every visitor entertained. Frequently visited for its “all‑weather” experience, “live entertainment” and “animal interaction”, The Big Sheep is the go‑to destination for families, couples, and anyone looking for a fun day out in North Devon.
