Why The Animals At Longdown Activity Farm Need Your Help.

Longdown Activity Farm is a family-owned tourist attraction and education centre providing hands-on interaction with a variety of friendly farm animals for young families and local school groups since 1983. Longdown also provides valuable training for assisted-needs students.


The current Covid-19 pandemic has impacted on countless businesses and lives. For Longdown Activity Farm this has meant the closure of our farm gate to our many visitors and the cancellation of all our school group bookings for this year.

Since the middle of March 2020 our income has come to an abrupt end; while the government has promised grants and funding, in the short to medium term this is proving difficult for us to access.


We now have an urgent need for help to feed the animals that are staying on the farm. We have managed to provide alternative homes for some of our stock, but still have a number of horses, donkeys, cattle, alpacas, goats, pigs, rabbits, guinea pigs and poultry to feed on a daily basis and to keep on top of their veterinary needs.


In our attempt to keep Longdown Activity Farm open we are seeking assistance from anyone who is able to help us with funding to feed our animals and to provide veterinary treatment during the next few months until we can welcome the public back on to our farm once again.

We appreciate that this is a very difficult time for everyone so we give grateful and humble thanks for any donation you may be able to spare.
