The Old Shire Horse Centre Craft Village & Animal Farm. Set in the intimate surroundings of the former Courage Brewery shire horse stables, the centre offers a day out with a difference.
The Craft Village offers a fascinating range of craft studios & shops. Visitors can watch our crafts men & women at work; try their hand at jewellery creation, card making or pottery painting in one of our workshops; or shop for a special memento from the distinctive array of unique handmade products.
Our Animal Farm gives visitors the opportunity to interact with & learn more about our furry & feathered friends. They can take time to get to know our rare Alpacas, the pigmy goats Bill & Ben as well as the pigs, ponies & sheep. Chat with Cocky the Cockatoo, find out what we feed the peacocks & cuddle our pets, in the enclosed petting area.
Entrance to the Animal Farm includes access to Granny's Toy Collection, a toy museum, with toys from around the world, & our play area featuring a bouncy castle & family picnic area.
Set in the heart of the Craft Village, our café offers a delicious range of homemade food. Linger over a light lunch of fresh soups, salads or sandwiches or savour one of our tempting cakes for morning coffee or afternoon tea.
