We have a wide variety of animals on site, including dogs and cats, birds, guinea pigs, alpacas, pigs and sheep.
We are open Tuesday – Sunday 10am – 4pm for visitors, however the onsite café closes at 3pm. Entry to the farm is via a donation to the charity.
Trindledown farm is a supporter of the Open Paw programme which sets minimum mental health requirements for each animal in our care. We have spacious accommodation with each kennel and cattery comprising of all the home comforts including sofas and televisions. All the animals that are available for rehoming can be found on our website and visitors are encouraged to pop into our reception where our staff will be more than happy to help.
We hold events throughout the year with proceeds going towards the animals in our care. A full calendar of events can be found on our Facebook page or the events section of our website.
