FAQs

What animals do you have at Murton Park?

We look after a family of farmyard animals, from Nubian goats to Badger Face lambs. Our animals are subject to change throughout the year and you can find our animal activity licence here.

Can I pet the animals?

Most of our animals are friendly and it’s tempting to give them a stroke (oh those puppy eyes!). Please wash your hands at the hand wash areas after touching the animals or their pens.

At the moment we don’t have dedicated animal petting activities and facilities – but we’re looking into it! As we’re a charity, we’re constantly making improvements as support for Murton Park grows. Every donation brings us closer to making new changes.

Do I need to pay extra to feed the animals?

Feed is available to buy from the shop for £1 a bag.

Can I bring my own animal (say an adorable dog?)

If you would describe your dog as “well-behaved” and happy to stay on a lead throughout the visit, then yes, bring them along.
