Pig Experience at Goodheart Farm Animal Sanctuary, Worcestershire

Mad about pigs? Then our unique ‘Pignic’ Experience, based at Goodheart Farm Animal Sanctuary in Worcestershire, will have you oinking with joy!

This unique hands-on experience allows visitors to get up close and personal with our group of friendly rescued pigs and learn all about their lives, personalities, and what it takes to care for them.

Please note, our visits are currently on hold. We hope to re-open them in the near future, so check back again soon.

What's included:

We start the experience with a welcome talk in our classroom, where we will introduce our charity’s work and hopes for the future.

You will then get the opportunity to explore our Pig Barn & Woodland. Here, you’ll be able to feed and stroke some of the lucky pigs that call the sanctuary their home, while hearing all about their inspiring rescue backgrounds.

We will then make and give out enrichment and toys to see the pigs’ fascinating natural behaviours come to life!

Before lunch, we’ll make a quick stop at our classroom to wash up ready for lunch.

Finally, enjoy your pig-nic lunch at our picnic table right beside the pig paddocks while our pigs have a delicious snack of their own.

“Really great, informative and interactive experience with the pigs. Abigail was super friendly and engaging, with endless amounts of knowledge about all the animals that live at the sanctuary.
