roves farm

A fun place to go for kids and adults who like animals and seeing their kids have fun. Friendly staff and a hands-​on family way of interacting with their visitors. Good value for money if you do all the available activities especially when compared to other family days out. Sat– nav helpful to get there I think as a bit of the beaten track. Thought it may be to young for my kiids 8 and 10 before I got there, but both have asked to go back. Nice country walks as well and can get close to and pet the animals. Dog friendly. A few things could do with sprucing up but don’t let that put you off going there. Very mch recommend, one of the best family farm attractions I have been to.

Roves Farm is in a village called Sevenhampton on the outskirts of Swindon, near Highworth.
It is a working farm that is open to the public and they have all sorts of activites on to encourage the public to go there and visit.
The best time of year to go is during the lambing season, when if you are lucky, you can see a lamb being born and get to sit and bottle feed the baby lambs. Children love this and it is a good place to take youngsters, really child friendly. There are things such as hay bales stacked up that the children can climb on and burn off some excess energy.
You need to wear wellies, because it is really muddy.
There is a café where you can buy a drink and a cake.
There are often demonstrations of things such as spinning going on.

Really fun day out for the kids.
See all the farm animals, ride on a tractor and explore the straw bales which have been constructed into tunnels. (Don’t forget a torch!)
Our boys always enjoy this day out.
