It’s hap- pening every day at 2.30pm. New for 2013 is our Goat- A-Rama where you can see our friendly goats climb and play. Also new is the Pennywell Miniature Pig Show where you can find out more about our very special pigs and see just what they are capable of doing.
There is plenty of indoor space to picnic and play but as we want you to enjoy everything that Pennywell has to offer, inside and out, if it rains during your visit we will give you a ticket for a FREE return visit.
