Snettisham Park

Snettisham Park is a working farm located close to Sandringham in Norfolk, England.  It is well known for the herds of red deer that roam the entire area and it is managed under the ‘Countryside Stewardship Scheme.’  This unique park offers animal feedings, a deer safari, horse and pony rides, discovery trail, adventure playground, tearoom and farm shop.

Educational groups and schools enjoy trips to the park because of the knowledge to be gained about how a farm operates and the advantages of living in the countryside.  The staff provide enriching activities and programs to help target the areas identified in the National Curriculum that pertain to the work done on the farm.  Visitors will learn about raising beef cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and small animals, as well as how woodland, parkland, and other natural resources help the farm and life on it.  There is a discovery trail and archaeological sites also available at the park.

The park is open from February 1st through October 31st from 10am to 5pm daily.  The staff asks that all visits be booked, especially large school groups.  Admission prices are £5.95 and £8.95 for adults, £4.60 and £7.95 for seniors, and £4.50 and £6.95 for children three to sixteen for the farm, or the farm/safari respectively.  They do offer birthday party packages that include sandwiches, crisps, mini cakes, biscuits, jelly, sausages, various squashes to drink and balloons.  Parents are asked to supply the cake and more information can be had by telephoning 01485 542425.
