Meet the animals with Scrubditch Care Farm

We’re delighted to announce that Scrubditch Care Farm will be joining us throughout February half term with their wonderful goats, Griff and Gruff and a few of their lambs to educate visitors around the incredible therapy work they offer to vulnerable adults at their Cirencester base. Guests can talk to the Scrubditch team all about the animals and how they help those in need whilst enjoying opportunities to groom and interact with the animals in a safe and controlled environment.

From the farm:

At Scrubditch Care Farm, our Outreach Programme extends our services beyond the farm, bringing the unique experience of interacting with animals to individuals who may face barriers to visiting us.
