Opening Times

We are open every day apart from a few days after Christmas when closure dates will be posted here.

The farm and play barn are separate attractions and have different opening times and admission fees, although a combined ticket can be bought reducing the total cost should you wish to visit both.

For both attractions, last admission is 1 hour before the closing time.

(note: in Summer months we open until 5 pm)

There are regular, daily organised activities that happen at specific times - egg collecting, chick chat, sit on a horse, tractor ride, bottle feeding. These activities are all included in your admission and are available weather and season permitting. See the Things To Do page for more information and activity times.

Lucky Chance

For the next couple of weeks, this is unavailable. We will post a message here and on Facebook as we open it again.

Lucky Chance is a very sweet, young foal that we were asked to adopt. We are offering limited advance tickets for a close encounter session to meet Lucky and our other horses on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Normal admission applies.

Find Us

Ash End House Children's Farm, Middleton Lane, Middleton, Nr. Tamworth, Staffs.

Postcode B78 2BL for your satnav.

 

We are just south of the village of Middleton although we don't recommend you travel through the village itself. The easiest access is from the A4091 which is the main road that runs from The Belfry, past Drayton Manor Park, to Tamworth. Please don't approach us from the A446.

From the A4091, look out for signs directing you along Park Lane which runs into Middleton Lane. The farm is about one mile from the main road.

 

Coaches must approach via the A4091 and are by appointment only. All coaches must stay on the property for the duration of the visit.
