Bocketts Farm, Demonstration farm in Leatherhead, England
Bocketts Farm is a demonstration farm near Leatherhead in Surrey, England, set on gently sloping land. The site has animal enclosures, covered play barns, and open outdoor areas that families can walk through at their own pace.
The land was originally used as a working farm long before it opened to the public. One of the oldest buildings on the site dates from the 1700s and now serves as a cafeteria for visitors.
The farm gives families a chance to get close to animals like sheep, goats, and pigs during daily feeding sessions. Watching staff care for the animals makes the visit feel like a real glimpse into working farm life.
The paths on site go over uneven ground and slopes, so sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing are a good idea. There is a lot to see across the different areas, so allow at least half a day for the visit.
Bocketts Farm holds regular pig races where real pigs run a short course in front of the crowd. It is one of the few farms in England where visitors can watch this kind of live event.
