About Abbotsbury Childrens Farm
History of the Barn
Benedictine Monks established St Peter's Monastery at Abbotsbury in the
1040s. They built the Tithe Barn in the 1390's. The monastery was
destroyed in 1539 during the dissolution. Some of the ruins can be seen
around St. Nicholas' Church in the village.
Goat Racing
Goats play a major part in our activity schedule, before each race
there is parade of the runners, so that a favourite can be chosen to
support.
Bottle
feed the goats after the race, but hang on tight to the bottle! After
feeding, some children will be able to take a goat for a warm-down
walk, also cuddle guinea pigs, ride ponies, race toy tractors and play
in the soft play area.
