Acorn Farm
About
Acorn Farm is an award‑winning, family‑friendly attraction in Kirkby, Merseyside. Open seven days a week from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, the farm offers a wide range of animals – from sheep and cows to goats, pigs, horses, chickens, rabbits and even meerkats – that visitors can feed and stroke. The working farm also hosts special events such as small‑animal petting sessions, horse rides and birthday parties. A charming on‑site café and shop sell homemade meals, free‑range eggs, dairy products and souvenirs, while a woodland walk, play areas and a plant sales centre add extra fun for visitors. The farm promotes education with guided tours, an Animobile, incubator hire, and day service for people with learning disabilities. Ideally suited to families, school groups, animal lovers and those seeking a relaxed day out, Acorn Farm provides an engaging experience that encourages hands‑on interaction with animals and a taste of rural life. Guests can explore the farm at their own pace, taking in the variety of animals, the scenic countryside walks, and the occasional special events held throughout the year. Above all, the combination of gentle animals, educational activities and a welcoming atmosphere makes Acorn Farm a delightful destination for travelers of all ages.
