Cotswold Farm Park
About
Cotswold Farm Park in the heart of the picturesque Cotswolds offers a living museum of rare farm breeds and festive wonder. From the gentle clatter of herd animals to the warm glow of Christmas lights, visitors of all ages can mix learning with play. The park’s free 1‑hour wildlife walk winds through 650 hectares of rolling hills and protected SSSI habitats, inviting families to explore nature hand‑in‑hand with their pets. For families and school groups, the park hosts interactive talks, hands‑on animal encounters and themed group packages. Heritage and standard packages for coaches add a heritage talk and optional refreshments. In the winter, a temporary “Christmas on the Farm” event turns the whole park into a snow‑edged wonderland with Santa, gingerbread workshops, and a fire‑pit marshmallow village. With on‑site dining at the Ox Shed, seasonal menus and coffee, and a gift shop stocked with local products, visitors can spend a full day enjoying discovery, play and rural hospitality.
