Croxteth Park Farm welcomed 12 adorable rare breed piglets to its farm on Easter Sunday. Croxteth Park Farm, a traditional working Victorian Farm set in the grounds of Croxteth Hall, is formally owned by the late Lord Sefton’s estate.
The farm is home to many different species and rare breeds of farm livestock, acting as one of the biggest rare breed farms in the country. In a post on Facebook, the farm posted a picture of the tiny piglets, alongside the caption: “These rare breed piglets were born late last night.
“Look out for them in the maternity suite today when you visit! We are open 10am-5pm last entry 4pm.”
There are more than 20 different breeds living on the farm, from cows, pigs and horses to sheep and lambs. The animals are used to interaction with people and are friendly to members of the public who want to take a closer look.
The farm offers guests a new experience every month, from pony and rabbit grooming to meeting the animals up close. There is no extra charge for these activities so you can really spend the day here.
Croxteth Farm Park does allow you to feed the animals at a cost of £2 per bucket. There are even home education mornings for guests to learn everything they’ve ever wanted to know about the animals.
For those who aren’t afraid to get a little bit dirty, the farm has previously invited people to become a farmer for the morning. The day included mucking out and preparing fresh pens, guiding the sheep, letting birds onto the farm, and simply enjoying the animals’ company.
Events change on a weekly and monthly basis. The farm is open daily between 10am to 4:30pm. Entry is £6 per person but children under one year old are free to attend.
