Access guidance
- The pathways throughout the Farm are mainly concrete based, however, there are some areas that are covered with compacted hoggin. This is suitable for wheelchair users, however, it can be slightly difficult for those using frames and walking sticks. We offer a free of charge wheelchair loan (subject to availability). There is an outdoor play area that is on grass and has an accessible pathway for wheelchair users. The play area includes accessible equipment, including a wheelchair swing. Most of the animal pens allow wheelchair users close contact with the animals, however, we stress that it is vital our hand-washing facilities are used if anyone touches the animals, or the wheels of their wheelchair. Due to the nature of our tractor and trailer ride, it is not suitable for wheelchair users or anyone suffering from spinal injuries.
- Our Changing Room facility consisting of a ceiling hoist and track, height adjustable adult-sized changing bench and WC suitable for wheelchair users is accessible to all of our disabled visitors. A First Aid room is also available (keys can be obtained from our main reception).
- We welcome fully-trained assistance dogs on site. For all other dogs, we provide lockable kennels in the Farm's car park. We do stress that these kennels are basic holding kennels and strongly recommend that you bring along a comfort rug and water bowl with you. You are welcome to check on your dog throughout your visit.
- Our staff are committed to providing each and every one of our visitors a memorable experience and will be happy to assist with all enquiries. All our staff are recognizable by the standard Longdown Activity Farm uniform. Most of our team have First Aid qualifications and are trained to assist in the event of any emergency on the Farm. Longdown Activity Farm is proud to be actively involved with training and employing adults with learning difficulties.
