Animal Encounters!

🌿 Private Animal Encounters at Pennywort Mill

Get ready for a gentle, personal experience with our animals here at Pennywort Mill.

We are delighted to be opening our private animal encounters to the wider community, even if you are not staying with us.

Spend time meeting, feeding and getting up close with our friendly:

  • Miniature Mediterranean Donkeys

  • Pygmy Goats

  • Boer X Goats

  • Alpacas

  • Ducks and Chickens

Each encounter is completely private and limited to a maximum of five people, allowing you to enjoy the animals in a calm environment without the crowds of a busy attraction.

You’ll have plenty of time for photos, learning about each animal and enjoying a relaxed countryside experience.

Your visit will conclude with a guided walk with our two female donkeys, Button and Mimi around the Pennywort Mill grounds.

🌿 A calm, exclusive experience

We offer only a limited number of encounters each month and run ja maximum of two sessions per day, helping keep things relaxed for both visitors and animals.

For larger groups, please contact us to discuss your requirements.

After your encounter, you’re welcome to stay a little longer to enjoy our play area or bring a picnic and take in the fresh countryside air.
