Animals

What a menagerie!!

In 2008 it was decided that not only should people work for the Hall but that we needed some animals here to do their bit too. We now have a growing family of animals including;

Bees - 3 busy hives which provide the shop with honey and are far enough out of the way not to buzz around the visitors

Hens - the first batch of hens were rescued as chicks from a local owl centre (owl food!) and the last batch from a battery farm, all of which are now free range and supply the kitchen with fresh eggs every day (try the home made scones!)

Rabbits - when not breeding, our bunnies keep the grass low and save our Head Groundsman Ed from mowing all the time

Goats and Sheep - our Pygmy goats and miniature Ouissant sheep also help keep the grass down, together with the lovely Ursula, an Anglo Nubian goat who provides the hall with rich creamy goats milk each day.

Pigs Elvis and Ozzie our Kune Kune pigs, our boys are very friendly and love a scratch, but due to their big teeth we ask you not to feed them!
