🐐 Farm Visiting Update: October Half Term & Winter 2026/27

​Please note: Hensell Goat Rescue Care Farm is currently CLOSED to general public visitors, including the planned October Half Term opening. Following the recent wet and windy weather from Storm Boelo, our priority is—and always will be—the health, safety, and welfare of our rescue goats. Until our new Winter Barn facilities are built, we have moved the entire herd onto the yard’s hard-standing areas to keep them warm, dry, and mud-free. Because this occupies our main visitor areas, the farm will NOT be opening for the October Half Term as planned.

General visitor open days will resume at Easter 2027 with our annual Mega Easter Egg Hunt Fun Day!

This sudden closure shows exactly why our £30,000 Winter Barn is so desperately needed.

With £16.3k raised so far, you can help us get a proper weatherproof roof over their heads this winter.
