Bluebell Dairy Farm
About
Bluebell Dairy Farm Park offers a charming blend of farm life, animal encounters, and delicious treats that delight visitors of all ages. Nestled just outside the city of Derby, the 15‑acre park is home to a variety of farm animals, including cows, sheep, alpacas, goats and more, giving families the chance to get up close with their favourite creatures. The farm’s culinary highlight is the award‑winning Moo & Brew Café, where guests can savour homemade dishes and freshly‑made ice cream crafted from the farm’s own milk. In addition to daily farm activities, the park is renowned for its festive attractions such as Santa’s Enchanted Christmas, seasonal pumpkin picking, and a giant bouncy pillow that invites children to bounce to their heart’s content. Whether it’s a peaceful day walking the gardens, a fun‑filled family outing, or a winter wonderland experience, Bluebell Dairy Farm Park promises a memorable day out in the countryside. The site is fully accessible and offers a range of ticket options, with admission starting at just £10 per person. Pre‑booking is strongly recommended, especially during peak periods such as Christmas and summer holidays, to guarantee entry to popular activities and to avoid long waits. Planning your visit in advance allows you to tailor your experience – from early morning animal interactions to afternoon tea, and from the thriving ice‑cream parlour to the spectacular Christmas events that transform the farm into a winter-themed wonderland.
