Murton Farm

We are now in our winter hours. Open Wednesday to Sunday, 10am to 4pm. The tearoom and farm are closed Mon/Tue however you can still walk round the nature reserve. Car park gates are closed at 4.30pm. The staff and volunteers look forward to welcoming you.
Come visit our farm with its animals, birds and children’s activities.
There is no need to pre-book tickets for our farm. Tickets can be purchased on the day from our tearoom. The star attractions will be our donkey duo, Ernie and Floppy. They are a very friendly, inquisitive pair and they can often be heard shouting at people for attention. 
Our collection of lovable animals and rare breed poultry live around the farm’s central pond. Here you will see many breeds of chickens and ducks you will probably never have seen before. Information boards will tell you all about the animals and birds as you wander round the farm. Come and see our cute ferrets, guinea pigs and maybe even get the chance to pet them in our petting area. All of our animals are available for adoption or sponsorship. There are plenty of activities for the kids to try including trampolines, sand pits, pedal toys and a variety of outdoor games. Great fun and something the grown-ups would probably love to have a go on too!

Please note that due to the fact that we have animals and wildlife on site, no dogs are permitted on Murton Trust grounds at any time, except for assistance dogs. Thank you for your understanding.
