Tapnell Farm Park

Meanwhile at Tapnell Farm Park… 🪩🐮🕺

Katie, our Farm Park Operational Manager, has been busy getting the Events Barn ready from our school residential discos to Moo Mania… and somehow ended up behind the decks with Osmund the Ostrich 😂

Safe to say, you don’t have to be mad to work here, but it definitely helps 🤪

The real party starts next week with AJ Entertainment hosting Moo Mania in the Events Barn on Tuesday 27th & Thursday 29th May from 1–4pm 🎶

Built by little hands, now buzzing with purpose… 🐞🌿

Our Bug Hotels are officially in place at Tapnell Farm Park!

Back in February half term, young explorers got stuck into building these mini habitats in our workshop, followed by a brilliant visit from Brading C of E Primary, who added their own creative touches during their school trip 🐜✨

Now, thanks to our maintenance team, these bug hotels are out in the Farm Park - ready to welcome their tiny residents 🏡

And they’re not just fun to spot… Bug Hotels play an important role in supporting biodiversity, giving a safe space to ladybirds, woodlice, solitary bees, spiders and more. In return, these mini beasts help pollinate plants and keep pests in check 🌼

Come and see them for yourself:
📍 Behind the sledge slide
📍 Near the donkey stable

Keep your eyes peeled… you never know who might have checked in 👀

PYGMY GOAT FACTS YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T KNOW 👀🐐

We’ve got some new little arrivals at the farm… and they’ve got main character energy already 😏

Swipe for some seriously impressive goat facts 👇

🐐 “Kids” have been called kids for centuries… long before human kids came along
🧗‍♂️ They’ve got incredible balance – built for steep cliffs, trees, and even 5ft jumps
👀 Rectangular pupils = amazing night vision (they see things we definitely don’t…)
🐐 Also known as dwarf goats
🥛 And believe it or not… more people drink goat milk worldwide than cow’s milk

Basically… they’re tiny, chaotic, athletic legends 💪🏼
