Willow Tree Family Farm
About
Willow Tree Family Farm is a charming charitable organisation based in Shirebrook, Nottinghamshire, offering visitors an engaging mix of animal encounters, birthday parties, and educational school visits. Spread across seven acres, the farm features a diverse range of farm animals—including pigs, goats, sheep, llama, alpacas, and many small species—alongside interactive activities such as animal feeding, small‑animal handling, and educational talks. Families can delight in themed birthday party rooms, each catering to different age groups, while schools and community groups enjoy guided tours and learning packs that cover topics from farming to wildlife conservation. With open hours from 10 AM to 4 PM, a rolling schedule throughout the week and a friendly volunteer team, the farm provides a relaxed and inclusive environment where guests of all ages can connect with nature and learn in a hands‑on setting.
